  • Junior, Linguistics major

I am honored and grateful to have been accepted into Phi Beta Kappa because it brings me endless opportunities and recognizes my achievements thus far. I am currently a Junior majoring in Linguistics and minoring in Computer Science. Since my freshman year at UWM, my family, peers, and educators have encouraged me to pursue my passions and do my best, for which I am eternally grateful. I have grown as an individual to become the best version of myself, and I hope to make those who have supported me proud.
