How has Dickinson prepared you for your future?

Dickinson has given me a solid foundation in a variety of fields that I know will be helpful for my personal growth and future career. I have learned how to connect with individuals from a variety of academic passions, backgrounds, interests, etc., which is incredibly helpful when entering the real world and the workforce. I also personally feel more enriched because I have discovered interests that I never knew I would want to learn about.

Internships

  • STAND: The Student-Led Movement to End Mass Atrocities, Washington, D.C.
  • The Borgen Project,Telecommute.

What are you most anticipating about your future?

I am excited to dig deeper into the interests that I have developed at Dickinson, specifically conflict studies. I hope to have a year off, completing my Fulbright assistantship, and then pursuing a master's in conflict studies with concentrations on peacebuilding or refugee/migrant crises.
