This portfolio is the culmination of my four years at the University of Washington, and was created as a final project for my time in the Interdisciplinary Honors Program. Through this portfolio I chronicle the peaks and valleys of each quarter I have spent at the university (or abroad), and in doing so reflect on how I have evolved as a student, researcher, friend, and community member over this time period. 

 

A little about me, I am graduating in March 2026 with a BA in Law, Societies & Justice and BA in International Studies with Interdisciplinary Honors. Originally from Evanston, Illinois, I chose to move to Seattle and attend UW largely because of my acceptance to the Interdisciplinary Honors Program. As a senior in high school I felt constrained by the idea of choosing a major, and loved the prospect of being able to continue to learn about topics outside of my intended area of study. I have been able to take advantage of so many incredible opportunities through Honors, from studying abroad in Peru to moderating the Honors program's annual Global Challenges event. As I am now in my last quarter of my college experience, I feel immensely grateful to the folks in the Honors program for the way they have shaped me as a person. Enjoy my portfolio!
