Why I’m studying public policy: I realize an understanding of policy is important to supporting organizations that support vulnerable populations. I want to be able to be involved in change from an organizational and policy level. 

My policy interests are: Individuals with disabilities, those experiencing homelessness, food justice organizations, and immigration.

In five years I hope to be: Working in a nonprofit in Boston. 

Outside of school I like to: Read non-fiction, biography, and autobiography books. Go hiking or for nature walks. I love going to the beach, visiting with family, coffee shop dates with friends. I enjoy working with animals and dog walking. I enjoy attending musicals and operettas.
