Hi Tufts! I'm a rising senior majoring in International Relations and minoring in Colonialism Studies and Urban Studies.  

​

Home to me means a lot of things.  I've found home in the street noodles of Bangkok, Thailand, where I was born and attended high school.  I've found home in the community theater in Livingston, New Jersey, where I lived for eight years.  I've found home in the corn fields of Waseca, Minnesota where I spent every summer with my family growing up.  And now I've found my home at Tufts.

​

I've served on the Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate as a Class of 2018 senator since my first year here.  For the past three years, I've been a member of the Allocations Board, charged with funding and budgeting all student organizations on campus.  I've served as the Chair of the Student Outreach Committee for two years, and this past year, served on the Executive Board as the Diversity & Community Affairs Officer.

​

Some of my major achievements on the TCU Senate include establishing Indigenous Peoples' Day in place of "Columbus Day" at Tufts, organizing Tufts' first ever Indigenous Peoples' Day celebration in October 2016, serving as an active voice on the Student Life Review Committee this past semester, creating and overseeing the first "Two Minute Thursday" senate outreach initiative, personally budgeting over 100 student organizations over the past three years, being a member of the internal Senate Strategic Planning Committee tasked with reviewing and improving Senate's operating structures for next year, and overseeing successful projects, such as the Swipe It Forward meal bank initiative, as the Chair of the Culture, Ethnicity, and Community Affairs Committee (CECA).

​

Outside of the TCU Senate, I'm also actively involved with Amnesty International USA (AIUSA), serving as the Massachusetts State Legislative Coordinator, a member of the AIUSA National Strategic Planning Committee, and the selected Youth Delegate representing AIUSA at the International Council Meeting this summer where the movement's global policies, priorities, and governance structure will be voted upon.  I'm also currently a Woman's Program Intern at the North American Indian Center of Boston (NAICOB), where I work with Native women who are survivors of domestic violence.  

​

At Tufts, I'm a leader for the Tufts Wilderness Orientation, I've choreographed two TDC dances (one was "Not Your Ivy Rejects" themed), and cried over taking EPIIC my first year here.

Confessions: I am notorious for mooching off of other people's food and I haven't done my laundry in two months.
