Bachelor of Arts

Theater

At Oberlin, I'm really grateful for all of the activities I did to keep myself busy, and the people I met along the way. I worked on several theater productions for OSTA, OMTA, Opera, Theater Mainstage, and labseries productions, from stage management to dramaturgy. My favorite was A Nacht A Sheyne, performed for OSTA in February 2019. In Fall 2019, I directed an original full-length play for my senior capstone called The Size of a Fist! I was also a member of Piscapo's Arm from Spring 2018-2020, and met some of the most vibrant and incredible people at college. Outside of classes, I enjoyed working my multiple student jobs: working the reference desk in the evenings, running activities at Kendal, and holding writing conferences with students in ESOL and Literary Journalism.

"Mom, am I still young? Can I dream for a few months more?" -- Mitski, "Class of 2013"

Before everyone left campus in March 2020, me and my friends hung out in the Noah lounge. We just danced around, played Jackbox, and watched bad Disney Channel original movies. It didn't feel like saying goodbye.
