Louisa Bell

I am a highly motivated individual with a diverse background that has equipped me with great interpersonal skills, adaptability, and the ability to pick up skills quickly. Obtaining my degree in philosophy helped me to strengthen my critical thinking and reasoning skills, and I am excited to bring my positive attitude and great work ethic into my next job. I thrive in a fast-paced environment and am passionate about working in a space that gives me a strong sense of purpose and responsibility.

Ethics Bowl (2019 and 2020): I worked within a team to compete in ethics centered debate to analyze real-world ethical dilemmas and discuss their solutions, focusing on rigorous thinking, civil discourse, and community consensus-building. This experience helped me land an internship with the Center for Public Philosophy.

• 2022 Recipient of The UCSC Dr. Raihan Kadri Memorial Scholarship, dedicated to students who demonstrate “a commitment to the field of Philosophical Studies."

• I interned for the Center for Public Philosophy in 2022, a non-profit that aims to bring philosophy into the public sphere through community events.
• I assisted in organizing ethics bowl competitions for individuals from all walks of life including middle schools, high schools, universities, and even one event at San Quentin Prison! I was the primary point of contact for participants and volunteers.
