About

Senior undergraduate student at the University of Illinois Chicago, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, with a concentration in Law and Courts, along with a minor in Communications. Regarding my education, I have successfully completed and passed my bachelor's research in Political Science, focused on immigration policy and discrepancies in Europe. Additionally, I have also written multiple research articles related to humanitarian issues on the political scale and how they impact society, American public policy, foreign affairs, and more. Outside of the academic field, I have dedicated my time to also gain real-world experience in jobs that are centered around customer service, community building, and civic engagement.
