Research at Penn State -
B.A in Political Science | Minor in Crime, Law & Psychology | Legal Studies
I am particularly passionate about domestic and international politics and how they interact with the legal field. My research as an undergraduate student at Penn State mainly focused on the effects of public policy on the economic and social landscape.
During my time at Penn State, I had the opportunity to take courses on Political Psychology, International Political Economy, Public Opinion & Political Attitudes, Nuclear Weapons, American Constitutional Law, Politics in the Middle East, to name a few. These courses greatly informed my current perspective on public and international policy as well as reinforcing my interest in the intersection between politics & the legal field.
