My name is Sophia Li and I’m currently serving as the president of AACO after being involved in lower levels of leadership for the past 3 years. I’m a rising senior at Mason High School and I’ve always had a passion for empowering youth and providing voices for those who lack them ( i.e. minorities ) in places of politics and government. I love getting involved in the community through leading additional clubs like MasonVotes and RedCross. I’ve taught speech and debate for years now, both training kids for tournaments and through our local Huaxia Chinese school, contributing to being the root cause for my passion of Advocacy. Additionally, I enjoy advocating for mental health and reducing societal stigma as reflected in my passion of writing research papers for the topic as well.
