I graduated from the University of Oregon this spring with a Bachelor of Science in International Studies concentrating in International Economics and a Bachelor of Arts in French with a minor in Legal Studies. I am proud to say that I graduate Summa Cum Laude with honors, which speaks to my dedication to academic excellence and my commitment to achieving high academic standards. I was also fortunate enough to have spent a year on exchange in Lyon studying at both the Université Lumière Lyon 2 and Science Po Lyon. This experience pushed and shaped me in more ways than I can begin to express, and now I just can't wait to go back. I'm a hardworking and passionate individual. I care deeply about our world and the problems we not only struggle with today but stand to face in the future. Economics was not my first decision for a career path, but I took one course on international development and aid and felt a call to help in changing the industry.
