She is currently the president and founder of the Cardinal’s Message club, Westwood’s chapter of the organization, Morgan’s Message, which raises awareness for student-athlete mental health. Academically, she takes many history classes, as she is very interested in the U.S. government and public policy. She is very excited to be a student representative for the Board of Education this year.
