I am an undergraduate student studying at the University of Washington – Seattle Foster School of Business. I am originally from Cupertino, California, but am enjoying my time in the bustling city of Seattle. My academic interests lie in accounting and finance, the two concentrations that I am focusing on. In the future, I hope and plan to work in the field of tax for a public accounting firm.
This course, Indigenous Leaders and Activists, is my first history and diversity course taken at the university. During this quarter, I have learned a great deal about the issues and causes regarding indigenous groups that I were not previously exposed to. Each class has challenged my previous views and perspectives, and is definitely a refresher from learning how to do people’s taxes!
The leader our group members are focusing on is Neville Bonner, the first Yuggera Aboriginal Australian to enter the Australian Parliament. We hope to provide a thorough background on Bonner, giving readers an idea of his qualities and achievements.
In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, baking, and basking in whatever sun Seattle can get!
