She graduated from Georgetown University in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service, focusing on international history and earning a certificate in religion, ethics, and world affairs.

Her commitment to global engagement deepened during her Princeton in Africa fellowship with the International Livestock Research Institute in Kenya, where she advocated for smallholder farmers' needs by communicating scientific research to a policymaker audience. As a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Taiwan, she co-taught English, and led cultural exchange programming.
