HONORS 221 A: Evolution and Human Behavior
Quarter: Winter 2020 | Professor: Dr. Jon Herron
I learned a lot in HONORS 221. As a Political Science major I don't get much science in my standard coursework. This course has made me think about humans differently. In addition I really appreciated learning how to read scientific studies as a social science student. I can take this skill with me for the rest of my life. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to take this course because it has helped me rediscover my interest in science! Dr. Herron's passion was also made enjoy taking this course.

Quarter: Spring 2020 | Professor: Dr. Megan Ming Francis + additional instructor Dr. Carmen Rojas
The button to the right will allow you to download and listen to my final group project for POL S 405: The Funding of the Black Lives Matter Movement. This was not only my favorite class at UW thus far, but I also put my best work into this podcast. I not only enjoyed the research, but also the creative challenge. This class also inspired my senior capstone project (see below).
POL S 499: Center for American Politics and Public Policy Undergraduate Fellowship
Quarters: Autumn 2021 - Spring 2022 | Advisors: Rebecca Thorpe, Ryan Goehrung
One of my undergraduate career goals is being involved in research. My senior year, as a CAPPP fellow, I conducted my own research in a year-log project which I presented at the Mary Gates 25th Annual Undergraduate Symposium. My research explored nonprofit effectiveness using houseless as a case study. You can view my poster for the symposium to the right. Below the poster a the button that will take you to my paper.
