Work Experience: I graduated May 2026 from Boston University. At BU I was a print writer for the Europe section of the International Relations Review. I was a member of the German cluster at Global House, BU’s language living learning community. I have worked social justice internships in housing rights and with local grassroots organizations. I have also worked two Summers at German International School Boston.
