I completed my B.A. in Politics and International Affairs, alongside Economics coursework, at Wake Forest University. With a background in human rights and an interest in finance and corporate law, I am interested in the intersection between the two. I hope to research corporate social responsibility and ESG within Latin America, to get a better understanding of how businesses can foster a respect for human rights through their business practices. In particular, I am keen to research how corporate finance itself (i.e. investment decisions, M&A) can play a role in more concretely implementing the UN Guiding Principles of Business and Human Rights.
