"Public policy, law, and dance are my passions in life. While these areas of study may seem very dissonant, I find that they all have an element of congruence. As a Politics & Government and Dance-Theatre double major and Economics Management minor I am constantly inspired to seek out the reciprocal relationships between these interests."
"I believe public policy, law, and dance are all vehicles for codifying the human experience, meaning that all of these areas reflect the struggles and successes of human life in one way or another. Dance and law can be used explore the human experience, the former through movement and the latter though legal studies. Public policy is the implicit application of the struggles and successes discovered through dance and law. As I’ve matured I’ve come to realize that dance first introduced me to this concept of exploring people in society. "
