Astrid
Astrid is passionate about understanding people and bringing different perspectives together. Through journalism, debate, ASL club, and track, she has developed a curiosity about how people communicate and how communities can grow stronger through meaningful conversation.
She joined FFI because she wants to better understand people from different backgrounds and become more confident sharing her own ideas. Astrid sees leadership as the ability to connect people rather than divide them, and she hopes this experience will help her become a stronger listener and communicator.
