“This internship is incredibly exciting because it allows me to understand the nitty gritty details of language and structure of committees and their important roles in our government system. As someone who is incredibly interested in advocacy work, coming to understand this is really beneficial. 

As for my plans after graduating, I am a semi-finalist for Fulbright hoping to be a teacher’s assistant in Mexico. I will also be applying for Teach for America in Hawaii and the Peace Corps with the hopes of doing this either in the next chapter of my life or in the future. 

As a first-generation college student and someone who grew up immersed in two different cultures, I feel very privileged and excited about all opportunities that I have been afforded through higher education. I find joy in building connections and exploring different cultures, societies and environments. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have studied both French and Swahili. Due to life experiences, I have had growing up I am very adaptable.”
