Since joining RSLP how have you grown as a leader? 

I’m placing more emphasis on my choices. Whatever I do in and out of college, I’m being more intentional when thinking about where I might best contribute to a collective effort to make change. 

I’m also committed to being “wrong.” I don’t want to be the kind of leader who’s unwilling to take risks. I want to explore that by getting involved directly in policymaking or implementation somewhere in the world at some point.
