Hi everyone! My name is Teagan (she/her), and I was born and raised in Medford, MA. I am majoring in Philosophy and Civic Studies with a focus on the intersection of ethics, democracy, and the criminal legal system. My life at Tufts is centered around Tisch College including the Tufts University Prison Initiative, Tisch Scholars, and JumboVote. I am also a Civic Semester alumna in which I spent my first three months of college abroad in Urubamba, Peru. I am excited to share reflections from the Hill, my perspective growing up in Medford, and the many great civic opportunities that Tufts has to offer!
