Biography

I am a 20-year old Political science major at The College of New Jersey. I am also minoring in law, politics, and philosophy with a concentration in law and society.

I have taken many classes here at TCNJ, most with of which are political science or law related. This has given me a better understanding and appreciation for the law. I have also some communications classes which have helped me learn to become a better public speaker and writer.

I am currently interning in the policy office in the NJ Governor’s office. Fall 2008 semester I spent abroad in London through The Washington Center. This program provides students with the opportunity to take classes as well as intern, and my internship was with the Liberal Democrat party in the candidates office. I worked very hard at both of my internships, as well as in my academic career.

Outside of school, I like to travel. That is probably my favorite thing to do. I eventually want to see all 7 continents. I also like to read and spend time with my family and friends. I also enjoy volunteering. I have volunteered at nursing homes, soup kitchens, and religious centers teaching children. I try to help my community and give back as much as possible. Another hobby of mine is that I enjoy following politics. I watch CNN religiously and always need to be informed with what is going on in the world.

After graduation, I intend to go to law school. I am unsure as to what type of law I want to practice or maybe get into politics, but I am sure I will decide when I am in law school. Hopefully this virtual portfolio will help with my future plans!
