My ultimate American Dream is for all people to fully realize their version of the American Dream, regardless of their background, socioeconomic status, or identity. I think of my father, who is the only person in his immediate family who achieved a formal education. To fulfill his American Dream, he had to overcome many obstacles along the way to achieve a life beyond what anyone expected. I believe in the work of the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream, and I am looking forward to helping all to achieve their dreams previously thought to be unachievable. This work will only strengthen the rich, diverse tapestry of our country."
