Hi! I’m Brigita, but everyone calls me Bridget. I am a fourth-year student majoring in English and pursuing minors in public relations and digital humanities. In the future, I hope to have a career in communications, as I am passionate about the possibilities in this field. Outside of a classroom, you might find me in a hammock on campus, studying at Foster Coffee Company or at a sporting event. I’m very excited for this year and everything to come!

Hello! My name is Luz, and I am a third-year student pursing a degree in political science with a track in public policy and a minor in leadership of organizations. I am currently co-president of Latino Leaders in Policy and after having the opportunity to share my story on many online platforms I have grown to have a passion in helping others share their own story. In my spare time, I enjoy going on walks, binge watch shows and I love listening to music!
