About me: Hi! My name is Anika, I'm a second-year hoping to major in Law, Societies, & Justice and double minor in Gender, Women, & Sexuality Studies and Disability Studies, and I'm part of the Interdisciplinary Honors Program. I'm super passionate about reproductive justice and I hope to go to law school after I graduate. At UW, I'm currently involved in research concerning reproductive justice on a global level, I'm an Honors 100 Peer Educator, an Honors Student Recruitment Ambassador, a member of the Honors Peer Mentor Program, a former member of the Terry Hall Council, and I love to boulder and go for walks (especially when it's sunny on campus!). I love being in Honors because of the incredible community, support, and opportunities for leadership that I've found. Some of my other hobbies/interests include playing the piano, knitting, and Shudokan karate. If you have any questions about being in the Interdisciplinary Honors Program, living in the Honors LLC, any of my interests, or my experience at UW generally, feel free to reach out to me! I'd love to chat :)
