Personal Statement

I grew up with parents who impressed upon me the importance of giving back whenever possible. As I grew up and started actively learning about the world, I realized just how little I knew of so many struggles people are facing. I know that if I had not gone searching for information, I would not understand many of our current issues. As I began to learn more I knew I needed to take action to educate others and make a difference. To do so on campus, I am president of our Peacebuilding Society which works along with the Peacebuilding and Social Justice minor to educate the campus community on issues of social justice and inequities. Currently, I am leading a campus-wide effort to recognize the indigenous peoples who originally inhabited the land where this university is located. I also serve on the executive committee for our service fraternity and volunteer to support the community around our university. In addition, I advocate for mental health awareness and spend time at our Spectrum Education Center in the PEERS Program as a mentor. I plan to attend graduate school where I will continue my studies on socioeconomic status’ effect on child well-being.
