I’m Michelle Young, a third-year at Arizona State University pursuing degrees in both Business Law and Political Science, with a minor in Justice Studies and a Certificate in International Studies. With an unwavering commitment to justice and governance, I aspire to utilize my education and experiences to push for meaningful change in society.
Beyond my academic pursuits, I am driven by a profound ambition to pursue a career in law and politics. After graduation, I am determined to attend law school and earn both a Juris Doctor (JD) and a Master of Public Policy (MPP), equipping myself with both legal and policy expertise to drive impactful change. My long-term goal is to serve as a career politician—advocating for equitable policies, protecting civil liberties, and championing the rights of all individuals.
This vision extends to Capitol Hill, where I hope to shape national legislation, and ultimately to the United States Supreme Court, where I aspire to break barriers as the first Asian American Justice. This ambition fuels my dedication to academic excellence, civic leadership, and lifelong public service.
