Future plans:

Although not concrete, I am currently considering an offer from the Peace Corps to serve in Peru. Overall, I would like to get involved in international politics, specifically the non-profit/ NGO sector.

How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?

My major has provided me with the academic skills necessary to obtain a job, such as research, writing, and verbal skills. It has also developed my critical thinking skills and challenged me, which has prepared me more for the workforce.

What has been your proudest or most significant accomplishment during your Gonzaga career?

My proudest moment was succeeding in Model UN in 2022, when we were able to attend conferences in person. I received awards at both conferences we attending, and my delegation was very successful. Feeling like a good leader was my proudest moment at Gonzaga.
