Goals and interests
- Career goal
I aspire to be in the social outreach industry. Working with and for communities who need extra support gaining basic necessities and goods in their area. I want to remind people that there are good in others, and we are here to help them, without judgement- no matter their circumstances. I have always been interested in community programs and free or low cost resources for people to use in need.
- Graduate school interests
I am interested in pursing many things after graduation including law, political science, and the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps specifically has always been on my mind since I was in high school. It would be an honor to be able to achieve that level of outreach in other countries. With further learning from my degrees, this will be achievable.
- Outside the classroom
Avid outdoor exerciser including hikes, running, yoga, and swimming. Enjoying reading and learning outside of the classroom from fellow community members.
