Hailing from Dartmouth, Massachusetts, I am a member of the V form at Portsmouth Abbey. I have always had a passion for debate, public speaking and community service, and it is an honor to serve on the first ever AbbeyMUN Secretariat. I have been a delegate for our team since I came to the Abbey in my III form year. Outside of Model U.N., I serve on the Student Council, instruct sailing in my hometown, love fishing and have worked on multiple political campaigns and at the Massachusetts State House.
