Through my service at Trinity, I developed a passion for supporting and serving individuals with autism and Down syndrome. This fall, I hope to get involved with a plethora of community service organizations on and off campus, but most especially, I'd love to continue my passion for serving the special needs community. While in D.C., I'd love to get involved with advocacy organizations and nonprofits focusing on Americans with special needs. I've also volunteered with my school's food pantry for the past four years, so I'd love to work with similar programs in the D.C. area while I'm at GW.
