Bella, a student at DePauw University, is studying both the fields of Political Science and Music Performance. With a profound passion for advocacy and the arts, she has embarked on a journey that combines her academic pursuits and personal interests. As a double major in Political Science and Music Performance, Bella is driven by a fervent desire to make a meaningful impact on the world through her talents and dedication.

Bella's commitment to excellence extends beyond her academic pursuits. She works as an intern at the Matthew Shepard Foundation where she manages and edits their youth blog, Matthew’s Place.

Bella's work at Matthew's Place underscores her dedication to civil advocacy, a passion she hopes to further nurture and expand upon as she embarks on her post-college career.


Beyond her academic and advocacy pursuits, Bella finds solace and inspiration with her friends, in nature, and while cooking. When not immersed in her studies or advocacy work, you can often find her getting an ice cream at Scoops, exploring the scenic beauty of DePauw's nature park, or trying new recipes in the kitchen. As she looks ahead to her future, Bella envisions herself making a profound difference in the world through her work in civil advocacy and performing with professional ensembles. Bella's journey is a testament to her dedication to her passions and her determination to use her talents to effect positive change in the world.
