Profile

I completed my degree in Anthropology and Cognitive Science at the University of Michigan in 2024, and during my undergraduate career, I had the opportunity to study abroad with SFS not once, but twice! I partook in Summer Sessions I and II (2022) at the Center for Marine Resource Studies in the Turks and Caicos Islands following my sophomore year and met some of the most talented and involved individuals. I liked it so much that I decided to study abroad with SFS again the next summer of 2023, where I enrolled in the Center for Climate and Sustainable Futures in Paro, Bhutan!

During my journey with SFS, I learned more about myself as both a student and worldly citizen and made remarkable and lasting friendships with peers and faculty that I still maintain to this day!

I am now pursuing a Master’s degree in Berlin, and plan on entering the world of academia for good. In my free time, I like to hike, crochet, and read books about fascism! I am also a freelance writer on the side, and never miss out on the opportunity to write about my adventures!
