What sort of activities are you involved with at UVA and beyond?
I try to pick activities that are related to my passions, so I’m involved in the University Judiciary Committee because I’m really interested in law. I am also involved in Quest Scholars at UVa because I care about creating a community for low-income students at UVa.

Group mentality and conforming is the norm here while in NYC, the more different you are the better. It was a huge adjustment moving to a place where individuality is not celebrated.
