Bachelor of Arts

Psychology

Creative Writing

At Oberlin, I loved exploring every possible interest: I'll be graduating with a major in Psychology and a minor in Creative Writing, but I am also a scholar of Spongebob, Horseback Riding, Outdoor Adventure Skills, and Cryptozoology! I also became SCUBA certified one winter term and became increasingly invested in the pottery co-op. I love the smell of mint. I love the sound of frogs at night time. I will miss Tappan Square and The Feve and all the Oberlin plants more than anything <3

I studied abroad Spring 2019 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

CDS student staff

Research Assistant

America Reads Tutor (also I drove the Oberlin Shuttle one semester and that was the best job I ever had

I listened to Song of Achilles on audiobook and cried in the van while I drove.)

I actually have so many fond memories of the science center. There are so many nooks to study in, and so many windows! Sunny happy place <3

Writers in Residence

The very last O-Steel show in Hales was one of the most beautiful send-offs I could have hoped for. Or any time I laid in the grass with friends late at night. Spontaneous trips to IGA to buy pints and pints of Ben & Jerry's. Celebrating birthdays. Going to decafe for snick snacks. There really is not one moment my favorite things were little and often unexpected. Time spent with the people I love. That was my favorite thing.

Going to work as a teacher and see where that takes me! I have eventual plans to get my masters degree, but I'm still deciding between Masters of Education, Social Work/ Psychology, Creative Writing, or maybe even Ceramics...? I like to keep my passions open! Also, this summer I hope to begin work on a novel.
