Location: Bronx, NY
My Story: I love New York. This is my city. Born and raised in Upper Manhattan, though I spent almost as much time in the Bronx, I know the real and not-so tourist-friendly areas of the big apple. A Bronx High School of Science, St. John’s University, and College of Mount Saint Vincent graduate, I decided to keep my education local (minus some studies abroad). Nevertheless, this page should be a vocal point for my political sentiment which sounds a little like this: I hate to see individuals who are elected to positions where they are suppose to be representatives for the communities, misuse their power and engage in good old fashion cronyism. I believe firmly in the direct election of government and hope to influence others to actively voice their concerns and hold their elected officials accountable for their actions. That is why I am taking it upon myself to engage in local politics whenever possible. I actually take the time to familiarize myself with the political platforms of the individual seeking to obtain my vote, and I fear not the consequences of openly criticizing political machines that seem to be violating the emissions standards implemented decades ago. I hope to be a part of local politics one day, but in the meantime, I will continue to work behind the scenes and demand, above all else, accountability from the men and women who decide how my taxes are to be distributed.
