CHICAGO FIELD STUDIES

Hi! My name is Zacaria Bahojb Nouri and I'm a Computer Science/History double-major from Louisville, Kentucky. As someone who's found interest in the intersection of academic disciplines, I plan to pursue a career that interacts with STEM innovations through a humanities-focused lens. Working to increase my exposure to the legal and business fields over the past few years, I hope to apply what I've learned in legal research and asset management to the entrepreneurial tech sector as my career progresses. Clubs like KTP and the Undergraduate Latin American Law Association have only accentuated this multi-disciplinary pursuit, providing crucial exposure to a variety of professional perspectives! Whenever I'm taking a break from work, you can usually find me on the soccer field with Men's Club Soccer! Please reach out with any questions you may have!
