About me

I am currently a senior at the University of New England, pursuing a double major in English and Political Science and minoring in Writing and Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies. From the beginning of my time at UNE, I began to pick up on what classes, topics, discussions, and readings made me the most passionate and intellectually challenged. I have gathered from these experiences that I love digging deeper into any topic and find myself wondering about the how and the why. Within my courses, I actively research and ask questions about the broader meaning of the work and how it relates to the world around us. I also continued to cultivate my passion for law which has guided me into a double major in both the humanities and social sciences with an emphasis on a pre-law path. I am also a member of UNE’s Writing Fellows Program, where I am paired with a faculty member to tutor students in their courses. While collaborating with professors on specific writing assignments, this position opens up many avenues to cultivate my writing skills, leadership role experience, communication, and problem-solving. I continue looking forward to my time at UNE and am excited and eager to continue bettering myself to take on my future goals.

Things that bring me joy.

The impulse to write things down is a peculiarly compulsive one, inexplicable to those who do not share it, useful only accidentally, only secondarily, in the way that any compulsion tries to justify
itself. I suppose that it begins or does not begin in the cradle.
