Hope Kerrigan is a fourth-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, the Executive Aide to External Affairs at CU Student Government, and volunteers as a Community Representative with CU Boulder's Restorative Justice Office.
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.
