Summary

In a recent in-class peer review, my classmates primarily used these words to describe me: Determined. Intelligent. Strong. Entertaining.

 

I have a double-major in Broadcast Journalism and Public Relations, with a minor in Leadership Studies. Like any 19-year-old, I can't be sure where my life is headed - but I know it will have something to do with community development - perhaps nonprofit or advocacy work.

 

I am especially passionate about peace (from international peace to ending domestic violence), arts education, and civil liberties.
