About Me

When I’m not in class, I love spending time with friends and exploring local bookstores. I’m passionate about the arts! I danced in high school, play the piano, and have been doing recreational circus arts since I was nine years old! I’m also an avid crocheter, foodie, and cat lover.

I grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, shaped by a walkable urban environment and a vibrant culture of political engagement. I entered college with a strong interest in the political and social dimensions of society, which led me to major in political science and sociology. These fields have challenged me to think critically about how we theorize and shape the social world. After studying abroad, I developed a growing curiosity about urban design and how the structure of cities influences political and social life. Additionally, my internship with my state senator provided firsthand insight into state government and reinforced my appreciation for advocacy and public service.
