As a Financial Times Student Ambassador, I serve as a connection between FT’s global newsroom and my community. I was selected as part of a cohort representing less than 0.01% of U.S. high school students, and I’ve used the role to publish an analysis of Meta’s AI initiatives, host an FT-branded panel with Rice University faculty and JP Morgan analysts, and design article-based workshops that train classmates to read, argue, and lead with factual data.
