Hi! I’m Poppy Schaffer, a freshman at the College of the Holy Cross studying political science and philosophy, with aspirations of pursuing the pre-law track. On campus, I am involved in Mock Trial and club field hockey, as well as active in the classroom, where I enjoy exploring the connections between ethics, governance, and justice.
Prior to college, I served as President of Girls in Action, a nonprofit organization run by and for young women. This experience shaped my passion for leadership, mentorship, and empowering others, and continues to influence the way I approach academic and professional opportunities at Holy Cross.
I am excited to contribute to Her Campus as a writer, combining my interest in communication with my commitment to building community. Outside of academics, I enjoy baking, skiing, and spending time with my family. And when I need to unwind, you can usually find me by the beach or re-watching Gilmore Girls.
