What pronouns do you use? She/Her
I am a senior psychology major with a minor in anthropology from Richmond, Virginia. I am currently a teaching and research assistant within both the anthropology and psychology departments. Last semester, I participated in a X-Labs course centered around the changing nature of higher education and a further need for accessibility and individualization, which led me to the Adult Degree Program. I hope to use my time as an Adult Degree Program intern to help students navigate their education.
