She also worked as an Afterschool math tutor, as she loves working with kids, and as a Baylor Law School desk worker, where she would assist law students with mock trials, serving as a witness. Her passion for foreign policy began when she studied abroad in France, where she studied U.S. Diplomacy under a former diplomat and U.S. Consulate General. Her studies focused on case studies such as U.S. foreign policy with China, where she developed an interest in Chinese expansion and influence. Upon independent research, her interest is particularly in Chinese expansion, across the globe, into Latin America.
