  • Junior, Geosciences major

I am incredibly honored to be invited to join UWM's chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. I started out at UWM in our architecture program and later switched into the geosciences program and absolutely fell in love with it while here. I am in our Honors College, where I took an eye-opening class on museums in our society that has cemented my hopes for my future in museum work. I am also a member of a student organization, called Artifacts of Us, dedicated to promoting and spreading empathy amongst our community here and in communities wherever we go. In the future I have plans to study abroad, do research, and continue on to hopefully get my master's degree as well. I hope to do museum work in my future and to continue to spread the love I have for geoscience with as many people as I can.
