CAHSS Student Leadership Council

I'm majoring in English literature with a minor in history and philosophy, with plans to graduate this spring 2025. For the past three years, I have worked on campus at the Ricks Center for Gifted Children as a program leader and teacher's aide. I am also about to begin a project with Vietnam Veterans and make sure their story is never forgotten throughout history. I plan on continuing my education through DU's graduate program in the upcoming fall and hopefully continuing to work towards becoming a professor of English literature.

I am interested in literature, history, philosophy, crafting (especially crochet), football, social reform, education, and coffee! (I know all the best spots).

I'm majoring in international studies and French/Francophone studies, with plans to graduate in 2026. I have work experience in law, finance, and advocacy, and I also tutor French at DU’s Center for World Languages and Cultures. After graduation, I plan to attend law school and pursue a career in law. 

My academic interests lie in law, language, and global affairs, which I explore through my studies. I’m drawn to analyzing complex issues and understanding their broader implications. When I offer advice, it usually pertains to writing, research and problem-solving. Outside of academics, I love spending time outdoors, be it hiking, skiing, swimming or camping.

My majors are in philosophy, sociology, psychology, & mathematics, and I plan to graduate in 2026. After graduation, I hope to begin working towards a concurrent degree graduate program, pursuing both a J.D. as well as a doctoral degree in sociology. I have worked at a law firm for 1.5 years doing anything from organizing 100+ case materials to fishing expeditions to find relevant case law. Additionally I am actively engaged in a sociology internship where I research DU's different consent policies while teaching healthy masculinity to the student body.

I spend most all of my free time backpacking, rocking climbing, skiing, and really anything else that gets boots on the ground. I also LOVE national parks and can give you any number of road trip ideas to check them out! 

My majors are in psychology, German, and English (Literary Studies), and I'm graduating in 2027. I currently serve as an undergraduate research assistant in the LEaRN Lab, and I also collaborate with the BRAVE lab working primarily in data entry focusing on child psychology. I'm also planning on studying abroad in Heidelberg, Germany in fall 2025. After graduation, I plan on going to graduate school and earning a doctoral degree in clinical psychology.

I can help people with navigating multiple majors within CAHSS, and anyone with interest in studying German. I also know lots of great places to thrift in Denver, and where the best bakeries are!

My majors are in anthropology & ecology, and I'm graduating in spring 2025. I have experience in science education, ethnography, animal behavior, ecological research! I'm currently looking for work experience before considering a master's degree.

I work as a Sculpture Studio Assistant in the Shwayder Art Building and as a Student Coordinator with New Student and Family Programs. I am a part of Alpha Phi Omega and the DU Dungeons and Dragons club. After graduation, I want to teach art at the high school level. I also really want to travel, so I may take a break from school and work and go on some cool adventures. 

In my free time, I like to put music on my iPod and create CDs, watch horror movies, and spend time with friends. Because of my previous role as a 4D Peer Mentor, people tend to ask for advice about resources around campus, and because of my art major people sometimes ask me which studio classes they should take. 

I am a third-year student at DU, majoring in psychology with minors in mathematics and leadership studies with plans to graduate in 2026. I am in the honors program. the Pioneer Leadership Program and the PROTECT Lab, where I am researching the intergenerational transmission of trauma and resilience across families and generations. I also work at One More Moment, a nonprofit that focuses on interventions for families raising children with mental health challenges. I also completed an internship at Children's Hospital Colorado last summer, shadowing in the Child Health Clinic. After graduation, I hope to pursue a Ph.D. in either clinical or developmental psychology. 

When I am not researching, I am skiing in the mountains, going on various adventures around CO, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. For those seeking advice, I am happy to talk about my research journey or study abroad experience in Sorrento, Italy last fall. 

I'm majoring in political science, with minors in critical race and ethnic studies and leadership studies, with plans to graduate in summer 2025. I serve as co-president of Divest DU, a student organization pushing for university divestment from the fossil fuel industry, and I'm a member of the DU Student Union. Off-campus, I am the social media coordinator for Athena Project Arts’ #ReproductiveJustice campaign, and I previously interned at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Colorado as well as a research assistant under the Interdisciplinary Research Institute for the Study of (in)Equality (IRISE) at DU. In the future, I plan to attend law school in 2026 to become a civil rights attorney.

I enjoy making jewelry and crafting outside of academics! I am also always happy to speak about on-campus involvement, writing essays for the Gilman Scholarship or other study-abroad scholarships, and classes relating to my majors as well as socio-legal studies courses as that is my minor.

I'm majoring in economics and political science, with plans to graduate in 2026.  I am the current president of DU Club Climbing, and I love to climb competitively inside and for fun outside. I studied abroad in the fall of 2024 in Thailand through the ISDSI program, learning about community, culture, and ecology within the country. In the future, I plan to attend graduate school, and eventually work as an environmental and economic policy analyst. 

In my free time, I love to rock climb, travel, and play games. I would be happy to give anyone advice on where to rock climb in or near Denver. I would also love to share any advice about studying abroad in Southeast Asia.

I’m an award-winning Cheyenne and Arapaho ledger artist, learning and carrying forward traditional styles while finding my own voice in the process. As an anthropology major at DU, my work is deeply tied to history, storytelling, and making sure Indigenous representation is done the right way. I serve on the Sand Creek Massacre Foundation board, helping preserve and share the histories of my ancestors while supporting healing efforts. After graduation, I’m hoping to go to grad school, get some fieldwork experience with different communities, and work in education.

I love exploring art, museums, and the environment, especially how art connects to history and cultural storytelling. People often ask me about museum collections, history, and how to make research more community centered. I also care a lot about ecology and conservation, so I have a lot of conversations about environmental issues and how human actions shape the world. 

As a jazz trumpet performance major and aspiring software developer, I am currently pursuing degrees in jazz studies and computer science at DU. Post-graduation, I aim to design software that enhances musicians' practice routines and supports students with ADHD in the classroom. I've performed at the Essentially Ellington Jazz Competition in 2019 and the Five Points Jazz Festival in 2019 and 2023. I have played at renowned venues like Boettcher Hall, Frederick P. Rose Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Dazzle, Nocturne, Nissi’s, and the Roots Music Project. I have also previously conducted research at DU's Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science. 

In addition to my musical and computer science pursuits, I work as a social media content creator for the Lamont School of Music (@du_lamont). In my spare time, I enjoy cooking with my mom, having long conversations with my partner, Zach, making fresh juice, taking walks, and visiting my family in Sincelejo, Colombia.

After graduation, I plan to take some time off to work as a research assistant, ultimately pursuing a PhD in clinical child psychology. 

I love hiking, camping, & generally being outdoors, painting & sketching, gardening & plant care. People tend to ask me for advice on difficult decisions, professional development, etc.
