I am an International Affairs and Political Science student at the University of Georgia. As part of the School of Public and International Affairs, my participation in both study abroad and domestic work study programs has given me a diverse learning experience which has deepened my passion for national security, foreign policy, nuclear weapons policy and defense strategy in the US and abroad. Outstanding courses I have taken which ignited this passion include: Nuclear Politics, Violent Political Conflicts, Political Propaganda, and International Conflict. Graduating in under three years, I have commuted to school and worked as a nanny while holding other part time positions in Athens, GA and the Atlanta metro area. The Washington Semester Program will serve as my final semester at UGA as a full time intern at the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, DC.
