I was born on December 31, 2001, four weeks early of my original due date. A few hours after I was born, I was taken to the N.I.C.U. for several days. Due to being born prematurely, my lungs were not fully developed and I wasn't breathing. But I pulled through and here we are over 20 years later. This is my older sister, Emily, meeting me for the first time. As you can see, she was very excited.

I was raised in Northwest Arkansas by my parents Kevin and Alicia with my sister, Emily. My parents moved to the United States in the early 90s from the United Kingdom to advance in their respected careers. They gave us a quiet life in Arkansas, with occasional visits back to the U.K. to visit family. In this picture we celebrate my sister graduating from the University of Arkansas, the first in our family to achieve a Bachelor's Degree.

I graduated from Rogers Heritage High School in the Class of 2020. Graduating during the first summer of the coronavirus pandemic is something I'll always remember. I was very active in my school during these four years; serving as a representative on the Student Council all four years and its executive committee my senior year, running cross country and track, and a member of the Young Democrats and co-founder of the Current Events Club.

Realism of college...LOTS OF WALKING!
My first year at the University of Arkansas was completely remote due to the pandemic, which made it very difficult to be social, a large part of your freshman year. Since then, however, it seems every semester has been better than the one before it. I began my undergrad studies as a Political Science major but soon realized it wasn't for me and switched to Social Studies Education.
