Tour Guide at Mount Holyoke College

Class of 2026

Hometown: Baytown, TX

Major: English

Secondary Major: Gender Studies


My favorite MHC tradition is...

Mountain Day! Classes are canceled, you get to go on a hike, and you're rewarded with ice cream at the top.

My advice to prospective students is...

Fit is the most important factor in your college search. Size, geography, and the quality of the program you're interested in matter much more than rankings, statistics, and scores.

My favorite class is...

It's a tie between Sherlock Holmes & Gender, Law, and Policy. I love anything related to popular Brit Lit and women's issues.

I chose Mount Holyoke College because...

Being surrounded by individuals with the shared experiences of both empowerment and marginalization because of their gender is important to me. MHC is a safe place to be myself and pursue my interests without judgment.

I'm passionate about...

Women's and Gender Studies Law

I'm involved with...
