I am a first-year undergraduate student at Pitzer College pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Political Studies. In addition to my academic pursuits, I work as a student engagement representative in the Pitzer Office of Advancement and serve in the Pitzer Student Senate on the Student-Alumni Relations Committee.In both the Student Senate and the Office of Advancement, I strive to improve the connection between students and alumni at Pitzer and allow for students to utilize career resources offered from the growing Pitzer alumni network. Most recently, I have been working in collaboration with the National Outdoor Leadership School to provide Pitzer alumni with more enriching engagement experiences and give both students and alumni the opportunity to connect with each other in exciting and fun environments.After graduation, I plan to continue my education and pursue a Master's degree in Public Policy at Claremont Graduate University. I aspire to utilize these experiences by beginning a career in foreign service, diplomacy, or federal work for the United States government.I would love the opportunity to connect!
