Hope Kerrigan is a second-year contributing writer and member of the executive team for Her Campus’ CU Boulder chapter. She is pursuing bachelor's degrees in English Literary Analysis and sociology on the pre-law track. Hope is from Charlotte, North Carolina, where she spent her entire childhood with her parents, four siblings, two dogs, and two cats. She is absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Her Campus sisterhood.
Hope’s love for writing was deeply encouraged by her father, Mike Kerrigan, an attorney and editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal. Her father is one of her best friends, and most certainly her biggest inspiration. He encouraged Hope that she too, could be a published writer.
After completing her undergraduate degrees, Hope plans to go to law school. Her dream is to practice restorative justice law, helping those who have been historically and systemically marginalized, hoping to limit harm and create more effective solutions.
Outside of classes and writing, Hope finds the most joy in reading books by Toni Morrison, playing her guitar, doing yoga, and rewatching Netflix’s “Arrested Development.” Hope is so very honored to work amongst this team of incredibly talented, capable women.
