The Global Undergraduate Awards aim to champion undergraduate research from around the world. Undergraduate students are able to submit their research across a range of 25 academic disciplines, and a winner from each category is selected by a panel of international academics and industry leaders.

Every year the winners and highly commended students are invited to attend a summit in Dublin, Ireland, with the chance to network with fellow winners and hear keynote speeches from academics, activists and business leaders.

I am an Irish-American dual citizen who was raised in Bend, Oregon, in the US. When I graduated from high school, I yearned for adventure and knew I wanted to leave my state. I ended up going to Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, where I earned a bachelor of arts in economics and a minor in philosophy.

In my junior year I studied abroad in Madrid, Spain, and fell in love with the culture and language.
