Why you chose your major
 I want to work in the state department so global awareness and language is important.

Favorite and/or most impactful course
 Jesus A Global History was the most impactful class I took, the professor was one of the best I've had. He cared about the students, and fostered engagement in class that was very relevant to the course.

Research or internship experience
 I had an internship with the UNL office of Global Partnerships & Initiatives. Through my internship I was able to learn more about international relations and diplomacy by sitting in on meetings between foreign diplomats and university officials. I was also able to expand my own portfolio by writing international student spotlight articles.

Other involvement
 Acacia fraternity, I am a CAST peer mentor, I am currently an intern at Lincoln Literacy

Why you chose Nebraska
 It is the best university in the state, and I get in state tuition.
