  • Junior, Political Science and Economics majors with a Pre-Law track

I am currently a junior in my third year at UWM pursing an Honors Degree in both Political Science and Economics. At UWM I have been able to expand my academic horizons and challenge myself with two majors and joining the Honors College. Specifically, the Honors College has allowed me to grow both personally and academically as I have been able to explore new topics of study and work with my peers in a collaborative way which I did not expect in a university setting. My undergraduate experience so far has been extremely rewarding, and I am honored to be invited to join Phi Beta Kappa. After completing my undergraduate degree I plan to combine what I have learned about political science and economics by earning my JD to practice tax law.
