Summary
"Bonum-Verum-Pulchrum" -
The pursuit of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful has long guided my academic and personal journey. My early education instilled these ideals, leading me to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Political Philosophy from the University of Dallas and to further pursue a Master of Arts in Humanities at Ralston College. With the support of annual UD Provost Scholarship Awards, a full-ride Ralston scholarship, a campus work-study role, and transformative summers spent salmon fishing in Kodiak, Alaska, I have embraced challenges that foster both academic and personal growth—whether navigating the seas or serving as social chairman for the UD Rugby Club. I am eager to further this trajectory through the News Corp Government Affairs Internship, confident that it will enrich my pursuit of advanced study and continued self-development.
