Hi, and thank you for visiting my page!

I wanted to share something that I’m really excited about and truly so grateful for. This summer, I was accepted as one of ten students into a study abroad program through my university, where I’ll be traveling to Northern Ireland to study peace, conflict, and community.

We’ll be in Belfast and Derry learning about the peace process and how communities rebuild after conflict, especially through conversations with people who have experienced it firsthand.

I am currently a Junior at Chapman University studying Psychology, with a minor in Women's and Gender Studies. I care deeply about people and creating spaces where people feel supported and understood. Much of what I study and the work I hope to pursue in the future is rooted in learning about social values, healthy living environments, and positive relationships. Learning about these principles will help me develop my skills so I can incorporate them back into my tribal community, which is why this experience feels so aligned with my goals.

I’m a full-time student, working two jobs, and currently applying for scholarships to help make this possible. I’m doing everything I can on my end, but the program costs around $4,000–$4,600, not including meals, airfare, and transportation, so I wanted to reach out and ask for a little extra support.

Even a small donation or simply sharing this means more to me than you know. Thank you for being part of my life and for supporting me in ways big and small. I truly don’t take any of it lightly, and I hope to carry what I learn from this experience into the communities I’m a part of.
