  • May 2022 graduate, Political Science major

I am honored to receive an invitation to join the Phi Beta Kappa Community. I will be graduating in the spring of 2022 with a degree in Political Science, a certificate in pre-law, and a minor in Women and Gender studies. I truly enjoyed my time at UWM and am thankful for the opportunities, experience, and knowledge provided by the faculty in the Political Science and Women and Gender Studies department.

I am very thankful for the opportunities and experiences UWM has provided me within the past four years. During my time at UWM, I became active on campus and discovered my love for political outreach and community-based organizing. For the past two years, I have worked with Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin and hope to continue working with them to help advocate for the people's reproductive rights in Wisconsin. While I plan to continue my education in Law school. I hope to take a year off to travel, work and gain more life experiences.
