Eventually, I came around to double majoring in political science and global studies, plus a minor in Hispanic studies. I really connected with global studies at PLU. I had a great IHON experience and I was in the Wang Center a lot. The study away program was one of the main things that drew me to PLU.

me about ways people perceive and interact with the environment and asked me to critically consider negative social externalities that arise from pollution and other concerns. I really enjoyed these classes but wanted the opportunity to take more math and science courses and ended up shifting the environmental studies degree to a minor and adding a chemistry major. The Hispanic Studies degree was really inspired by my high school Spanish teacher. I took AP Spanish 4 and 5 in high school and loved

It has also made lab courses look far more digestible than I had previously found them to be. Whether it be in my academic studies or my future career plans, I hope to carry with me the organization, work ethic, and joy for science that I found working at Fred Hutch.
