Tell us about your story
My name is Amisa, and I am a criminology student at Gonzaga University. After completing my undergraduate studies, I want to go to law school. I want to serve in a public career with the knowledge of laws, it is rich. I am excited about this opportunity to participate in JSI at Evans School. I look forward to learning from my fellow participants, growing together as a team, and improving our world.
What path did you take when you first started college?
I focused on managing my time and getting involved on campus. I went to my professor’s office hours for further discussion or to ask for advice on how to excel, and they were really helpful.
What made you consider a career in public policy/public service/international affairs?
I want to contribute to the ongoing efforts of other agents of change who are already in the field, working to improve the well-being of people.
Who inspires you to think about public service?
I can list them and not finish, but the fact remains that many people out there are doing their best to ensure we as a society and the world in general thrive. I get inspired when I see them or read about them, be it presidents, social workers, policy analysts, teachers, and so on. They are so great.
What are you most excited about the JSI program at UW?
I am excited about learning and meeting new people.
