Hi! My name is Courtney (she/her) and I am looking forward to being the FA for Think Globally, Act Locally! Although I am a Business Administration major, Planning, Public Policy and Management is a personal interest of mine! This year will be my first year as an FA but my second year participating in the FIG program. I am from the Bay Area, CA and in my free time, I enjoy all things outdoors, live music and being creative. Being a part of a FIG was such an important part of my first-year experience, and I look forward to being a part of the program again! Please do not hesitate to reach out, I am more than happy to answer any questions!
