I do plan on attending law school to hopefully become a human rights lawyer, but I'm also considering a career in education policy. Overall, I would like to pursue a legal path. <i>Top Three Study Abroad Goals</i>: Master my Portuguese language skills to the best of my ability; Learn about the structures and history of social justice movements and their real life impacts on Brazilian society and the greater Latin American region; Grow out of my comfort zone and immerse myself into Brazilian culture, even if it might be intimidating as an outsider :)
