About Me

I'm a Sociology and International Relations double major with a minor in Economics and work full time as a Pharmacy Technician. I am also a research assisitant for a project investigating Social Capital and how it releates to race and ethnicity when it comes to success on the college level, a member of the American Sociological Association, and am forming an ACLU chapter on my campus. I'm currently doing a study on how religiosity affects policy making in America, especially as it relates to gay rights to present at the Mid South Sociological Aassociation Conference in the fall. So, basically I have no free time, but I really enjoy all that I do and I hope to go to University of Chicago to get my PhD in Sociology.You can check out my blog at: http://allevolve.blogspot.com
