I am an incoming junior at the University of Dallas, where I study English and drama. I have just wrapped up a wonderful whirlwind semester in Rome, but back in Dallas, I contribute to the student newspaper, and I enjoy working onstage and offstage in drama department productions. I am also looking forward to serving on UD’s Campus Activities Board this fall. In my free time, I love reading, playing guitar, and doing homeless and children’s ministry. After graduation, I want to share Christ’s light through writing and service, likely in a non-profit or research environment. I applied for ELP for this very reason! While interning at Acton this summer, I hope to grow in intellectual and personal conviction for my conservative values and gain practical experience in non-profit operation.
