As a senior at Wheaton College majoring in Communications and Political Science, I am passionate about advancing justice through both direct service and systemic change. Currently, I serve as a Call Center Coordinator for Wheaton’s chapter of International Justice Mission (IJM), where I lead outreach efforts to support trafficked women in partnership with a local nonprofit. I also work with World Relief Chicagoland as a Communications and Development Intern, where I engage in ethical storytelling and community-centered research to uplift the voices of immigrants and refugees. Additionally, I support research on race, rhetoric, and justice as a Research Assistant to Dr. Theon Hill focused on the BRIDGE Program, currently.

These experiences have deepened my commitment to trauma-informed care, cross-cultural engagement, and advocacy for vulnerable populations. Whether through policy research or direct outreach, I strive to promote belonging, dignity, and holistic well-being for every person. I look forward to continuing this work through a career in social work.
