Future plans:
After graduation, I will be moving to Kenya to work with the Jesuit Refugee Services for a year at the Kakuma Refugee Camp. While at the camp I will be doing project proposal work for the education sector!
How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?
My majors in International Relations and French have led me to have a greater understanding of the world around us, and have inspired me to go into humanitarian work after graduation.
What has been your proudest or most significant accomplishment during your 91³Ô¹ÏÍø career?
My most significant accomplishment at GU is my Honors Thesis! It has been such a process, but I am so grateful to my advisor for seeing me through it, and I am so proud to be able to showcase what I have learned while at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø in a paper!
