My academic experiences in my second-year at Ohio State have been broad and interdisciplinary. As a double major in Philosophy and Political Science, I have enriched my curriculum with courses in graduate coursework in logic, the philosophy of science, and independent research. In particular, I was able to participate in a graduate seminar in the philosophy of science. This was an incredibly challenging experience, and I got to learn more about graduate school in philosophy.
On campus, I had the pleasure of talking to incoming freshman at the Eminence Finalist Dinner.
I have also been able to learn more about the nonprofit industry through the Buckeye Undergraduate Consulting Club. Through a project with Make-A-Wish, I was able to apply the analytical and technical skills that I have developed in the classrooms.
Additionally, I have continued my involvement in Enlighten and I am interested in researching more about human trafficking. Enlighten can be found at https://www.facebook.com/enlighten.ht/.
This summer, I will be working at an anti-human trafficking nonprofit. I’m excited to use data analysis tools to develop innovative reports in the field of human trafficking. I included one data visualization I did for class. This shows the age distribution of human trafficking victims worldwide:
After graduation, I still plan to enroll in a joint JD/PhD program in law and philosophy. My interest in law lies with issues involving jurisprudence and human rights law. Primarily, I hope to bring attention to global issues involving human rights through academic scholarship and advocacy.
Finally, I have attended several concerts featuring some my favorite artists this year including: Japanese Breakfast, Mitski, Hello Emerson, and Milo. I look forward to next year!
