Claudia is an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and International Studies with a concentration in International Security, Norms, and Cooperation. She is actively engaged in her campus community through leadership and membership roles in the Michigan Foreign Policy Council, TEDxUofM, and the Donia Human Rights Center. Her academic and extracurricular experiences have fostered a strong interest in transitional justice in post-conflict societies. This passion led her to intern in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where she seeks to deepen her understanding of the region’s history of post-conflict reconciliation. In the future, she plans on attending law school with the aspiration of becoming an international human rights lawyer in pursuit of aiding communities seeking justice in post-conflict settings.
