Hi everybody! I'm in my 3rd year at the University of Oregon and I'm studying history and minoring in media studies. I've been involved in tons of activities on campus like reporting at the newsdesk at our campus radio station, KWVA, and working on our arts and culture magazine, Align. A fun fact about me is I studied abroad in Spain!

Describe your college experience

I have absolutely loved the University of Oregon and have really found my people and passions here. Coming from out of state I was nervous about feeling homesick and out of place but found the exact opposite to be true. Here I've had the opportunity to explore diverse interests, take interesting classes with amazing professors, and made a ton of lifelong friends.

Tip for future students

Explore! Go to clubs! Be brave! And, most importantly, you will find your people! There are so many amazing ways to make friends and connections at the U of O.

Favorite class

I loved a history class I took last year where each student took on the role of a person in the Constitutional Convention. We worked together the entire term to draft and vote on a new constitution and had interpersonal goals we needed to meet. We even had a dinner party one night!

Career goals

I'm planning on taking the LSAT in August of 2026 and applying to law schools the following winter. I have always wanted to go to law school and the U of O has really pushed me to make that a reality.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Grab pizza at Hey Neighbor and then play shuffleboard at McMenamins or get froyo and see a $5 movie on Tuesday nights!
