Bio

My name is Bridget, and I am a second-year graduate student and a first-generation student. As a child of immigrants, I understand the importance of culture and considering lived experiences. This has informed my approach to life and my interactions. I care deeply about supporting diversity and inclusion in the spaces I find myself in. My interests include behavioral science, education policy, and the intersection of technology, law, and compliance. I hope to use my educational background in behavioral sciences to complement my studies and work. I am committed to community engagement and service, advocacy, and mentorship. I consider myself a lifetime student who is looking to lift others along with me as I climb.
