About me: Hi, my name is Anika! I'm a senior double majoring in Law, Societies, & Justice (LSJ) and the Comparative History of Ideas (CHID), and I'm part of the Interdisciplinary Honors Program. I'm passionate about migrant justice and hope to go to law school after I graduate. At UW, I'm the Peer Adviser for the Honors Program, a student researcher for the Immigrant Rights Observatory at the UW Center for Human Rights, and I'm a former Honors 100 Peer Educator, Honors Student Recruitment Ambassador, member of the Honors Peer Mentor Program, and member of the Terry Hall Council. I love to climb, read, 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 and interests include playing the piano, knitting, and Shudokan karate. If you have any questions about being in the Honors Program, living in the Honors LLC, or my experience at UW, feel free to reach out! I'd love to chat :)
