About Me
My time at Oberlin has been filled with friendship, art, growth, culture, and self discovery. I was a Burlesque performer, I acted in both Theatre Department and OSTA shows, and I was captain of the Oberlin Tennis Club. Though I am a science major, my greatest moments at Oberlin were always in the arts. It has not been easy, but I can say that the Me that is graduating is a totally transformed person from the one who first arrived at Dascomb in 2016. My greatest accomplishment here has been persisting- there were many times when it felt like the universe was telling me to leave, but I am so proud that I didnt listen to that. I have come to love Oberlin with all of my heart, despite the hard times. Every memory has made me stronger, wiser, and more ready than ever to be a part of this crazy world!

Favorite Place
Warner Main Space! I had such a love hate relationship with it because the heaters always clank loudly during performances, but I have so many great memories there that I can't help but love it.
Favorite Class
Chem 101-- my first class ever! Professor Hua was everything I had hoped to get out of an Oberlin professor, and she made the transition into college life so much easier.
