Anya Strogonova

Hi! My name is Anya Strogonova and I am a senior political science major with an environmental studies minor. I am from the suburbs of Richmond, Virginia. I grew up there and in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I deep love for nature and protecting our environment. I have always been an opinionated and outspoken person thanks to my family. I want to encourage others to find that voice in themselves.

I am the daughter of a Latvian immigrant and a first generation college student so I understand some of the hardships of those communities. That being said, I am aware of the privileges I have and it is my goal to use those privileges to spread justice and equality. That is a big reason why I chose to study political science. I want to make a difference in our world. <3
