If you could be a character in any TV show or movie, who would you be and why?
Gregory from Abbott Elementary, I feel like we are one in the same with our bluntness and niche interests.
What led you to take part in civil discourse initiatives?
My dissatisfaction with the increasing polarization in our national politics. Walking around campus, I noticed how hesitant people were to engage in conversations about important issues, and it pushed me to explore why that was. Most of the time, it boiled down to people feeling uncomfortable sharing their thoughts, fearing judgment or believing their opinions were too extreme to find common ground.
