Goals and interests

Career goal

I am not 100% sure of what type of job I want quite yet, I do know that I want to study political science and become a lawyer, with the possibility of one day running for some sort of office either at the state or federal level.

Graduate school interests

After I graduate college in 2022 I plan to go on to law school, either at the University of Washington School of Law or the Seattle University School of Law.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies include playing varsity volleyball at my high school, as well as playing club volleyball with a local team. I enjoy reading in my spare time, and I also enjoy baking and sewing.
