Welcome to Fall 2020! We are off to a running start. May your internet connections stay strong and your patience with Zoom even stronger.
Meet your new PAs, both currently in NYC:
Julia Henriques-Souza (MIA '21) is on the Human Rights track with a GPP specialization. Her fun facts: "1) I'm a Libra sun and Gemini rising. If you met me in person and know a thing or two about astrology, you know how clearly that manifests; 2) I'm a huge Lady Gaga fan. I literally cried when Chromatica came out; 3) I've been a vegetarian since 2017 (started because I couldn't cook meat, stuck to it because of the environment and health benefits). I hope that helps you get to know me better. Please feel free to reach out for academic purposes or to just talk!"
Morgan Nevins (MIA/MSW '21) is on the Humanitarian Policy track at SIPA and dual degree at Social Work. Gemini Sun~Sagittarius Rising~ Aries Moon. Things she loves to talk about in no particular order: biking, decolonizing/unsettling mindsets, Mozambique, gender dynamics, cash transfer programming, gardening, history, virtual dance parties, Timor-Leste, overlap b/w trauma-informed & anti-oppressive practice, and puppies. Outside of class, she is becoming a baby therapist through her clinical social work placement in a domestic violence shelter.
