  • Senior, Political Science and Journalism, Advertising, and Media Studies majors

I am extremely grateful and honored to be joining Phi Beta Kappa. As a graduating Senior at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I have been provided with ample resources and a flexible schedule that have allowed me to graduate in three years while working full time. Throughout my college education, I have worked as a Senate Intern for Senator Ron Johnson, an assistant for Televisa Univision during the 2024 national political conventions, and an Election Fellow for Leaders Igniting Transformation. I am most appreciative for the education and guidance that I have received in my time at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Following graduation, I will be taking a gap year to apply to law schools and save money!
