"I want to be a voice for other individuals. I want to help organizations and people work to take the step from education to implementation, especially in the areas of being multicultural and diverse."

"I love the campus. The old buildings give it a unique look, and it’s in a great area of Kansas City. I love all of the activities and volunteer opportunities here. I’ve been introduced to soup kitchens and Operation Breakthrough, among others."
