About

I am a graduating senior at the University of Washington with a passion for travel and learning about various cultures. One of my studies in college has been ethics because I want to provide more goodness in the world through an other's focused mindset. My skills in research, writing, and verbal communication have provided a foundation for hopefully entering a career in the U.S. foreign service or to work with a non-profit humanitarian organization.
