What has been your biggest contribution to the Generational community at Harvard?

Creating space for GAA students, both formally and informally, to exist outside of the pressures of being a Harvard student, mostly in an artistic sense via theater.

What has been your biggest contribution to the broader Harvard community?

Having done a semester abroad my junior fall in Ghana, I am most proud of inspiring people to leave and study abroad, demonstrating that it is a great opportunity to have exciting experiences beyond Harvard.

What is some advice you have for the GAASA community?

Even though it may feel isolating sometimes, there are unique experiences that come with being generational, and or presence is necessary. Do not feel as though you have to constantly be doing more as a means to overcompensate.

What are your plans for the future?

Directly after college, I will be going to the South in order to work at a nonprofit before I get back into the arts and entertainment.
