Receiving the Howard Lane Rubendall Senior Scholarship at convocation.
Studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Learning about the environmental and social problems caused by mining in Chile.
Presenting my research on campus accessibility for individuals with mobility impairments.
Academics
My academic experiences range from redesigning a corridor for bike and pedestrian safety to completing research on accessibility for individuals with mobility impairments using GIS mapping and from doing field observations in Copenhagen to access people’s behavior in urban spaces to analyzing Chilean literature with ecocritcism theory.
My education has covered diverse topics that have helped me to develop strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, and critical analysis. It was a political science course that first introduced me to cities as an academic area of study. A course on urban livability taken in Denmark led me to discover my passion for multimodal transportation. The variety of topics I have studied have contributed to my understanding of the intersecting issues facing cities.
