Feature Blurb

I felt that I first belonged at the University of Minnesota after walking the Washington Avenue Bridge alone at night as a freshman. There is something very tranquil about being alone on such a busy campus, admiring the architecture and imagining how many other people had walked this exact bridge and had gone on to do incredible things really made me feel a part of something larger than myself.

From this feeling, I decided to join the human rights program as an undergraduate working group member and writer. It was both there and in the Minnesota Jewish community through Minnesota Hillel, that I felt like I had found communities of people who would help me go as far as I can with my passions.

What's next?

After I graduate in May 2026, I'm moving to Indonesia to work as a human rights researcher and fellow at a university. I will continue to write my book about conflict theory and hope to go on to become an international or human rights lawyer. I would like to continue writing up ads for various news publications and continue my work at my new publication platform the policy and rights lab.
