Shawn SN, official website.
Hello! I am Shawn, an Indigenous NGO leader and educational nonprofit founder from East Baltimore. I'm passionate about using the law as a tool to increase the standard of living—particularly through my 501(c)(3) nonprofit STEMpathize and my NGO The Native Claim Firm. I also enjoy mentoring first-generation college students, low-income students, and BIPOC students, having come from all three backgrounds myself. I am also a former student-athlete, having served as the Men's Club Soccer Captain at the University of Maryland.
