Native Iowan Conner is a political science major with a gender, women's, and sexuality studies minor. She is committed to the needs of those marginalized even in typical service provision as shown by her work in people of color outreach with LGBT advocacy group One Iowa or street outreach with community-based Helping Individual Prostitutes Survive in Washington, DC. Though she enjoys the challenges of the work she's chosen to do, she practices self-care by listening to stand up comedy and attending drag shows. She plans to attain her master's of social work to gain the skill sets necessary for the management and development of a culturally relevant social agency.
