I was born in Minneapolis, MN on March 27, 1995. I have gone to various schools over the years (private and public), eventually realizing that independent schooling is right for me. When I was 14-years-old and suffering with anxiety and depression, I started Be Simple Apparel, my sustainable clothing line, to spread positive messages through design. I am interested in the environment, economics, international relations and animals. After I finish high school, I plan on voulenteering abroad for a non-profit or joining the Peace Corps for a year. I plan to go to a small, environmentally focused 4-year college after I finish my gap year of service and to  eventually work in the international non-profit or governmental sectors. My dream is job is to be the General Secretary of the United Nations. In addition to my education and business, I work to find solutions to solve the plastic pollution crisis.
