me!
This is me!

I’m a senior sociology major at Albion College with concentrations in public policy and law, justice, and society. I sing a lot, love earl grey tea, and could eat indian food at every meal. Civil rights and social justice issues are really important to me, and I’m passionate about learning how policy and city revitalization can empower people. I plan to attend law school, and until then, I’m going to keep pushing myself to grow as much as possible. This study abroad semester is part of that.
