Accomplishments

    I participated in a human rights focused study abroad program during fall semester 2023. This exchange placed me in Buenos Aires, Argentina for two months and then Santiago, Chile for another two months. The opportunity not only immersed me culturally and linguistically, but also provided me with various research opportunities. In November 2023 I presented a research project that centered on propaganda and misinformation at the Conference on Human Rights Transitional Justice & Social Justice in Santiago, Chile.
