I chose Mount Holyoke College because...

I was looking for a college where I would be valued as my whole self, in addition to inside the classroom. A college where everyone's greatest competition is themselves was very important to me during my application process.

My advice to prospective students is...

You make your college experience! Wherever you end up it's up to you to take advantage of the resources available and create your own unique path.

My favorite class is...

Anthropology of Human Rights. I really enjoy the mix of small group and whole-group discussion, and how every single reading challenges me to think about human rights through a different framework.

My favorite MHC tradition is...

Mountain Day! I love getting to enjoy the fall weather and spending time with friends.

I'm passionate about...

Activism LGBTQIA+ Rights Dance Reading! off-campus employment

I'm involved with...

Planned Parenthood Generation Action Queer Action Collective Lavender Committee Housing and Homelessness
