Major/Minor:
Political Science & Philosophy Double Major/ Civic Engagement Professional Writing Minor
Contact Information:

Internship for Writing Minor:
As a Court Reporting Intern for the Santa Barbara Independent Newspaper, I cover legal news in the Santa Barbara County. I attend hearings, interview attorneys and police officers, conduct background research, and write articles.
Why the Civic Engagement Track:
I chose this track primarily because I am most passionate about governance and civic issues. I have always considered myself a writer but I knew that if I was going to have a future career as an attorney and potentially in policy making, I knew that I would have to adjust my writing style for those fields. While I have had opportunities to write academic papers about civic-topics in my political science classes at UCSB, this writing track has helped me to learn more dynamic and compelling ways to construct my words across different platforms.
Post-Graduation Plans:
I will be attending UC Berkeley School of Law to pursue my passions of Constitutional Law and Public Policy.
