Hi, I am the current GAP Director. I have the privilege of working with our local and state government to affect change that protects and prioritizes youth. It is my role to take the legislative proposals that are crafted in SABE and SABLE and ensure that those bills reach the governor’s desk and signed into law. Outside of CASC, you can find me rowing crew or leading a local Bay Area Student Activists Chapter. I can’t wait to work with students all across California and hear your innovative ideas!
Hey everyone! I am the 2019 Education Policy Director. Previous to my current position I was a Student Board Member Semi-finalist and the Region 12 Development Committee Director. I first fell in love with CASC and what the organization does after my first SABE conference in 2018. It was then that I witnessed the importance of student empowerment. I am a strong believer that the experiences we have in education grow to be the most valuable, the most relevant, and the most impactful. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me, I’m always an email away.

If you are passionate about social issues and want to speak out, join me at YASC!
