About me: Hi! I'm Devyn, a second year International Studies major and a Peer Facilitator for the UW Interdisciplinary Honors Program. One of my main academic interests is how nation-state tensions impact LGBTQ+ rights in Poland. However, when I'm not doing homework on European history and comparative politics, I enjoy playing guitar and watching movies. One of my favorite movies that I've seen this year is The Ballad of Wallis Island. One thing I enjoy about the Honors Program is that it introduces me to topics I never would have been involved in otherwise, like e-literature and bird watching. After university, I hope to get a Ph.D. in Comparative Politics and become a professor.
