What activities are you involved in on campus?
Throughout my first year of college I interned with Saint Michael’s Center for Women and Gender and completed training with the Student Support Network on campus. This past fall I was involved with the Adventure Sports Center Mountain Leader Course, (MLC), and participated in a variety of outdoor activities and training. I am involved with several clubs on campus including Common Ground, Spanish Club, and Green-Up. Currently, I volunteer off campus at the Williston All Breed Rescue.

What is your favorite thing about Saint Michael’s and why?
My favorite thing about Saint Michael’s is the wonderful faculty and staff who have made my college experience so positive. Saint Michael’s vested interest in, and commitment to their students’ personal and academic development, is one of my many favorite things about Saint Mike’s!

What are your career plans after you graduate?
Following graduation I plan to attend law school in pursuit of my J.D. while specializing in immigration law and reform. Eventually, I hope to partner with international organizations in establishing more comprehensive climate refugee and immigration legislation.
