I am looking forward to starting my senior year in fall 2024 as I continue toward obtaining my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. As a member of the Clark Honors College, I will continue to work on my thesis which I will defend before graduation in June 2025! Post graduation, I am looking to work in environmental advocacy and justice, potentially working for a local or state political campaign or attending law school! My academic interests will open me to a multitude of various options that I am excited to explore. While I have enjoyed my time in Oregon I will most likely be moving back to Southern California to get started on my career.
