Your Voice, Your Vote: Youth Knowledge of Voting in America

I have been raised around elections ever since I was a little girl because my mom is a third generation elected official. Since then I have studied and worked with my County Clerk to learn more about elections and the voting process.

I plan to further my platform and enhance my public speaking skills. Not only with that, I would like to continue my personal goal of making the uncomfortable into comfortable.

My dream is to be on Broadway or to have my own ghost hunting show.

I enjoy singing, playing my instruments, reading, watching documentaries, listening to podcasts, painting, and playing softball.

I have synesthesia. With my type of synesthesia I can see music in color and I can see the color of people’s aura.
