What are you most excited about for your Next Port?

I’m excited to finally realize my dream of being an attorney! I have always had a passion for justice and social reform, so I am anxious to get underway with my career as a lawyer.

What is your favorite memory from UP?

It’s so hard to just pick one memory from the past four years, but if I had to, I would say my favorite memory would be my time studying abroad in London. It was a surreal experience living and studying half way around the world. Having three-day weekends made it so that my friends and I could travel around and explore what Europe has to offer! I made some great friends and memories during that semester! 

Was there a faculty or staff member, or department that specially helped you land your Next Port?

The entire political science department was incredibly helpful in my process to landing my Next Port. From advising to writing letters of recommendation, I couldn’t have done it without them!
