Maria Esther Sanchez

Biography:

I am a senior triple-majoring in Political Science, International Studies, and Environmental & Sustainability Studies, with a minor in Statistics. I’m a proud Chicagoan and alumna of Northside College Prep High School. Aside from being an A&S Ambassador, I am an involved member of UK’s Policy Debate Team, where I regularly compete in the national circuit. In 2019, the debate team won the national debate championship, securing the second overall win for UK and the first in 33 years. I am also an at-large member of UK’s Student Sustainability Council and a member of Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc. 

This summer I conducted research at the University of Delaware’s Center for Experimental and Applied Economics as part of UK’s Sustainability Intercollegiate Summer Research Experience Fellowship. 

In the past I have been an assistant instructor for high school and middle school students at UK’s Public Speaking and Argumentation Camp and a staff member at the Northwestern University Debate Institute and the Georgetown University Debate Institute. 

I hope to attend graduate school after graduating from UK!

If you have any questions about anything UK related, please feel free to message me! I also speak Spanish. Go Cats!
