Where do you see yourself in 10 years? “In 10 years, I see myself either starting my own law firm or working hard as an FBI Special Agent, having a family and living life to the fullest extent.”
Accomplishment Most Proud Of: “The accomplishment I am most proud of is earning my black belt in Chun Kuk Do. I worked extremely hard for 8 years to reach my goal. It is not just a belt; it shows that I can defend myself, but also represents my discipline, integrity, loyalty and respect.”
Part of the Solution: “Being involved in the Every 15 Minutes program made me realize that a huge problem facing teens today is driving while impaired. Awareness is a key defense against this issue; making sure my friends and family don’t get behind the wheel impaired is something I firmly enforce.”
Cause for Concern: “If I could be the president of any nonprofit organization, it would be one that helps the victims of child abuse. Kids who are abused don’t have a voice; a strong organization can speak for them, teach people about the signs of abuse, help victims overcome the damage, and put away the criminals that commit these crimes.”
