2016 Lynch Family Legacy Recipient

Attended St. Mary's Academy 

Pomona College, BA Psychology, concentration in Culture & Human Development

Current Occupation: PhD student in social psychology at University of Colorado Boulder 

Currently resides in Boulder

I got into 4 of the 6 social psychology graduate programs that I applied to (Brown University, Loyola University Chicago, U of North Carolina Chapel Hill and CU Boulder). Social justice and equity has always been my driving motivation and it's amazing to be able to have my education funded to study these issues at the doctoral level. 

I mention how much the Lynch Family has supported me to anyone who will listen. The scholarship made going to my dream undergrad possible and paved the way for my PhD studies, Getting invited to the HOF weekend was unforgettable. The Lynch's are people whom I'll always look up to and I don't say this easily <3.
