Hello,
My name is Aaliyah Payton. I am a Political Science undergraduate at Richmond American University in London.
One particular extracurricular activity that allowed me to enhance my communication and leadership skills was working as a peer mentor for the University. I met new people and guided them through their first semester of University. I also worked closely with Professors Without Borders on a ThinkTank project that allowed me to enhance my professional organizational and research skills.
I chose to write for Her Campus to improve and tailor my writing skills. Coming from a military family, hearing the experiences of so many different people strengthened my passion for learning about others, and I want to share that passion with readers. Understanding and listening are powerful tools in my eyes, and I feel as though Her Campus allows for that to be highlighted.
