At UChicago, I contribute to both The Maroon and The Gate, the Institute of Politics’ political magazine. Campus politics aside, both publications give me the opportunity to engage with curious, thoughtful peers—on everything from city elections to campus controversies.

Through these platforms, I’ve started a series of interviews with UChicago professors and faculty. The idea is simple: in large lectures, students often hesitate to ask questions that feel too obvious, and their packed schedules rarely leave time for office hours. I serve as a bridge—asking the questions many students wonder but rarely get to ask, and speaking with faculty about academia, current events, and the wider world.
