Answer

Ithaca is culturally rich, and my favorite activities involve interacting with the community and meeting people from all walks of life. I regularly volunteer with the local nonprofit Ithaca Welcomes Refugees, where I founded an initiative called Refugee Scholars in Ithaca. This program provides high school refugee youth with academic resources to prepare them for higher education. Additionally, I am a probationary firefighter at Cayuga Heights Fire Department. There is a beauty in improving spaces and leaving them in better condition than how you found them, for me, that means a commitment to give back to this lovely city.
