Bio: I am an incoming Master's candidate in Latin American Studies at Georgetown's School of Foreign Service. In May 2025, I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a minor in Law and Society, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish with a minor in Environmental Studies at the University of South Carolina. My undergraduate work centered on the United States legal system, environmental justice, and language studies, and I held leadership roles in sustainability initiatives, DEI enhancement, and environmental advocacy. I have also presented on topics from indigenous movements in Latin America to Critical Race Theory. I am particularly interested in the intersection of governance, migration, and climate change in Latin America and its implications for regional law and policy.
