I grew up in Northern Illinois where I graduated with a BS in Sociology from Northern Illinois University. I have recently relocated to Northern Virginia and am a graduate student at George Mason University studying International Security with a focus on intelligence. I am interested in human trafficking, particularly that of children, in the Middle East. I joined ACE because I want to help make information related to policy easier for the public to access and understand. In my free time I like to go to the beach, play boardgames, and read.
