James is a tenacious young person who spent most of their childhood in the foster care system in New York City. After being out of care, they got their own apartment and began supporting themselves for the first time. Their drive is unstoppable. James wants to continue elevating themselves by completing various trainings and obtaining certifications that will help them in their quest to achieve financial independence. They would love to learn how to swim since they love the ocean. Their goal is to become knowledgeable in a variety of fields, which would help ensure that they have the skills needed to navigate adulthood.

James is an assertive individual with a go-getter mentality who grew up in the foster care system. Currently, they live on a fixed income and are constantly seeking work to improve their life. James resides in a very small studio and is looking for ways to enhance the air quality in their space. Unfortunately, they cannot afford an air purifier at this time.
