Why San Francisco is important to me: San Francisco is an important place to me because I’ve seen the influence that the open political and social culture can have on a person- my father lived in San Francisco for years after college. Growing up in northern Wisconsin, I have always had a somewhat romantic view of living in northern California and wanted to experience it for myself.

Something unique about me: I did policy debate throughout middle and high school and judged debate during college. I hope to get involved in the Bay Area Urban Debate League, a branch of a nation-wide project to get strong debate programs in under-funded public schools, while in San Francisco.

What I’m doing now:  I’m a law student at Georgetown University.
