Hope Kerrigan is a third-year contributing writer and member of the executive team for Her Campus’ CU Boulder chapter. She is pursuing bachelor's degrees in English Literary Analysis and sociology on the pre-law track. Hope is from Charlotte, North Carolina, and is absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Her Campus sisterhood.
Hope’s love for writing was deeply encouraged by her father, Mike Kerrigan, an attorney and editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal. Her father is one of her best friends, and most certainly her biggest inspiration. He encouraged Hope that she too, could be a published writer.
Outside of classes, Hope works as an English Language Arts tutor, and volunteers as a Community Representative with CU Boulder's Restorative Justice Office. After completing her undergraduate degrees, Hope plans to go to law school. Her dream is to practice criminal defense law, hoping to limit harm and create more effective solutions within the criminal justice system.
When she's not working, learning, or writing, Hope finds the most joy in reading books by Toni Morrison, playing her guitar, doing yoga, and rewatching Netflix’s “Arrested Development.” Hope is so very honored to work amongst this team of incredibly talented, capable women.
