Being a woman in a male-dominant field can be challenging, but that didn’t stop Isabelle Stapp from choosing political 科学 for her studies at Austin Peay.
“It’s a male-dominated industry,” 她说. “There’s not a lot of us, and it’s important to get everybody represented and just getting women out there.”
Certainly, Stapp represents women in the Department of Political Science and Public Management, and that keeps her busy.
“I’m very busy a lot of the time,” 她说. “Just doing school stuff.”
Stapp is the vice president of the Pre Law Society and president of Pi Sigma Alpha. She’s also the student leader for the Tennessee Camps Civic Summit and is involved 与 ο Delta Kappa, the Coalition for Civic 订婚 and assists campus voter registration.
“I got involved because of one of my professors, Dr. (Kevin) Baron,” 她说. “他是 one of my favorite professors, and he was like, ‘Hey, you should join,’ and I kind of just showed up to the meeting.”
At the meeting, the professor told her that she should run in the upcoming elections, 她做到了.
“I ran not expecting to get anything, and he was like ‘Oh, you’re the president, by the way,’” 她说. “And I was like, ‘Oh, great.’ Like I had just started political 科学. It是 a 冲击.”

“I get to do a lot of stuff 与 the community,” Stapp said. “I work 与 a lot of local politicians, and I’ve met the secretary of the state and do a lot of voter registration 驱动器. That’s a big part of it, getting people to vote and do their civic duty.”
Stapp also met many people who share similar career goals at Austin Peay.
“I’m here from 8 in the morning to 5 at night sometimes just doing homework and hanging out 与 friends, and they’ve kind of become a second family to me,” 她说.
Along 与 amazing experiences and her friends, her success in academics and leadership roles for multiple organizations have opened opportunities for Stapp.
After Stapp graduates, she wants to go to law school and find a career as an entertainment lawyer working 与 musicians and actors navigating copyright laws. 她还看到 herself diving into politics one day.
“I want to be a corporate lawyer,” 她说. “I think one of the biggest goals will be CAA Nashville, which is one of the biggest agencies in the country. 他们处理 a lot of country music artists and stuff like that.”
Through her experiences at Austin Peay, Stapp has built a path for success as a young woman in the male-dominant industry, and she hopes to encourage others in the field.
“I did not think I could do it and that I was not smart enough. Law seems very intimidating,” 她说. “But just throw yourself in it. 这样做. See what happens. 我做到了，我 成功. My dad always told me, ‘You can do whatever you want if you set your mind 它.’”
