You can probably find me…in Brody Café—studying, writing, but mostly eating.
The best thing about Hopkins is…being inspired by fellow students and faculty alike who are constantly challenging me to not just seek out knowledge, but to create new knowledge.
Something I’m especially proud of is…all the research I’ve been involved with at Hopkins.
Something most people don’t know about me is…I am obsessed with the worst reality television shows.
This year, I hope to…keep my life as balanced as possible, and not hit the snooze button as much.
Next up for me is…SOHOP and Admitted students days. I work in undergraduate admissions and things are about to get really busy!
In five years…I hope to go on to graduate school and get a PhD, greek life has definitely given me some of the real life skills (time management for sure) I’ll need to survive another 6-7 years of school.
How has Greek Life shaped your Hopkins experience? Greek life has given me the opportunity to better myself through leadership roles. I’ve had to do things that I may not have done on my own for the betterment of the whole group. It has also taught me the most intense time management skills
What skills has this leadership position given you? Being a leader has given me too many skills to count; everything from conflict management skills, to problem solving, to managing a budget, and more.
What is your favorite thing about Greek life? My favorite thing about Greek life is the people. They are the ones who have truly made my experience exciting and memorable.
