Hi there! My name is Michelle Wang and I double majored in criminology and political science at the University of Toronto, Canada (Class of 2023). As a 2020 Laidlaw scholar, I was incredibly fortunate to work on a project that I was passionate about and to have joined a global network of like-minded scholars!!

I am now pursuing a law degree at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio (Class of 2027).
