I am 18 years old, I live in Los Angeles, California. The Big Assist Foundation is near and dear to my heart. I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to work for a foundation with a goal to help those in need. The reward I get from putting a smile on others’ faces is unlike any other. Outside of my love for charitable work I pride myself on doing well in school. In addition, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family, playing sports like football and basketball, playing video games, and rooting for my favorite teams the LA Lakers and LA Dodgers.
