About Me
Originally from Los Angeles, I discovered Dickinson as a high school junior when I was searching for a small and academically rigorous liberal-arts college on the East Coast. I was looking for a place with excellent academics, immersive study-abroad options and strong student-faculty relationships. I was fortunate enough to study abroad for an entire year in Norwich, England, at the University of East Anglia while pursuing a major in medieval and early modern studies. After finishing at Dickinson, I got a master’s degree in medieval studies before returning to my alma mater to join the admissions team!
Supplemental Essay Support
We know essay questions can be tricky—so I took a crack at answering one of our supplemental questions myself! Let me know if I can be of additional help as you work on your application materials.
What is something new you’d like to experience, learn, or try that might surprise your friends and family?
I would love to take up scuba diving. As a child I was fascinated by underwater archaeology and have always dreamed of exploring ancient underwater archaeological sites.
Fun Facts
-
Favorite place on campus: The East Asian Studies room in the Waidner-Spahr library. It’s where I spent most of my senior year writing my honors thesis.
-
Leo’s or Massey’s: Trick question! Both! I’ve found that I can pick up some Massey’s frozen custard and eat it while I walk to Leo’s for amazing homemade ice cream.
-
Favorite Dickinson tradition: I love the tradition of signing in and out of the college. Knowing that my name is part of a tradition that spans centuries reminds me that I’m part of something bigger.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
All the best,
