Describe your college experience

I am from Massachusetts and had a very smooth transition into college! I learned that the environment in which you live can really impact you and am happy to talk about resources on campus and ways to get involved.

Tip for future students

Keep a notebook of all of the people you meet, there is so much going on in the first few months of college, it may be helpful to refer to later on.

Favorite class

IR 292 - the Fundamentals of Global Economics. I absolutely loved the professor, found each class to be really meaningful, and enjoyed drawing connections to many of my other courses.

Career goals

I'm not completely sure at the moment but am considering roles in both private and public sector! I have worked with the career center and am happy to talk about strategies for finding internships and jobs.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Going to FitRec, talking with friends, walking around the city
