Major: Public Policy

Since joining RSLP how have you grown as a leader? 

Robertson’s signature experiences, such as my Community Summer with the Edgecombe County Sheriff’s Office, taught me to take purpose-driven risks, communicate my vision with confidence, and ask for help. I realized how much I had to learn when an incredible community of mentors and friends pushed me to grow.

I am committed to leveraging public policy to bridge cultural, political, and social divides. This commitment has taken me from my Exploration Summer studying post-conflict reconciliation in Japan to pursuing a gap-year fellowship between my sophomore and junior years exploring political polarization across the transatlantic divide.
