Tour Guide at Mount Holyoke College

Class of 2024

Hometown: West Springfield, MA

Major: Environmental Studies

Secondary Major: Mathematics


I chose Mount Holyoke College because...

of the community I found on campus - everything from people holding the door for you as you run from slightly too far away, to the sense of camaraderie I saw between faculty and students. I felt supported in trying (and failing) at new things along with encouragement to follow pre-existing passions both academically and extracurricularly.

My advice to prospective students is...

take it easy! You may not have a "dream school" or even a list of top schools or feel like you have anything figured out and that is ok. This is a marathon, not a sprint, and you will end up somewhere great!

My favorite class is...

Renewable Energy Transition (for Environmental Studies), Discrete Mathematics (for Math), and Global Valley (for a Five College course!).

My favorite MHC tradition is...

Mountain Day! I love the anticipation leading up to it and the chance to just spend time with friends, meet new people, and be outside.

I'm passionate about...

Rock Climbing Bird Watching Tap Dance Art (drawing/painting)

I'm involved with...

Mount Holyoke Outing Club The Unusual Suspects (Improv) Planned Parenthood Generation Action
