I was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. In high school, I discovered my passion for politics and government after taking part in a competition based around constitutional law. Once I got to college, I decided to choose political science as both my major and future career. During school, I took advantage of UW-Madison’s location in the state capital and became an intern in the State Legislature. This experience was balanced between classes, being president of my sorority, and finding time to study. Being a recent graduate, I hope to leverage my knowledge, experience, and passion into a successful career in the political field.
