"Three out of the four internships I participated in were set up by Juniata professors. I also did research with Dick Mahoney at the Baker Institute and I completed a research project for Emil Nagengast and also worked as a (politics) teaching assistant. These experiences all helped me develop my interest in peacekeeping and stability. All these interests will tie in with my time in Georgia, which recently had a war with Russia. Juniata gave me a lot of opportunities."

James A. Finnegan Fellowship Foundation
 "All three of my politics professors, Dr. Barlow, Dr. Plane and Sam Hayes were key in helping me get this fellowship. For Sam Hayes, who had literally just met me, to spend two weeks helping me with my essay and other work—I don't think I would have won the Finnegan Fellowship if I had been working independently. You can learn politics and government in the classroom, but it's also important to be part of the process of government."

National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship
"I really became interested in research through attending the Liberal Arts Symposium my freshman year. All of the students were really excited to talk with me about their posters and they all encouraged me to get involved in research. The NSF is interested in both research and the broader impacts of your potential career. I can certainly attest that this place truly changes lives."
