Hey ya'll! My name is Camryn and I'm a Junior here at CU! Growing up in a two mom family here in Boulder ideologies surrounding social justice and political advocacy were always deeply ingrained into my childhood. Throughout elementary school afternoons and weekends were spent at the courthouse fighting for the right for same sex marriage. Both my moms prioritized community involvement, henceforth teaching me that positive change is cultivated through grassroots leadership. At a young age I had already developed a passion among the political sciences and as I got older that passion only continued to grow.
Throughout my working career I have sought to positively impact the lives of those around me. I've spent time working all across Boulder; whether that's in dementia care units, in classrooms (teaching for Upward Bound or the Political Science Department here at CU), or even in a boxing gym. No matter what, I strive to create inclusive spaces where individuals can grow, connect, and engage with social issues. When I'm not working, I love hanging out with my dogs, lifting, and spending time with friends!
I have always valued writing as a vital means of connecting with others through creative expression. For me, writing is not only an art form but also a bridge, one that allows people to share their experiences, emotions, and perspectives in ways that foster empathy and understanding. In a world that often feels divided and tumultuous, I believe that creating safe spaces for honest and difficult conversations is more important than ever. Through words, we can confront discomfort, challenge assumptions, and imagine new possibilities for healing and community. I can’t wait to start writing and share my thoughts with you all, I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I do!
