I am a History major with a certificate in Legal Studies. I plan on graduating in the spring of 2026. I enjoy reading, rock climbing, and knitting. Since matriculating at UC, I have been awarded two Daughters American Revolution Scholarships in American History (2023-2024 and 2024-2025) and a Badanes Fellowship in International History (for travel to the Netherlands in fall 2025).
