HC: What are you involved in on campus? I am involved in theater and I just performed in Hillel Theater Group’s production of The Contest last weekend. I have also been involved with BRO (Brandeis Reconstructionist Organization) and I have been song leading for services with them because I love to play guitar! I’m also a new member in DPhiE.
HC: What has been your favorite experience so far at Brandeis? Or have you had more than one? My favorite experience so far at Brandeis has been being in The Contest! It was a great first taste of the theater community here. I loved being able to make lots of friends and have a blast doing what I love most! Plus, I played a 12-year-old girl and I got to eat real mounds bars on stage. I was a happy camper.
HC: How do you enjoy spending your free time? I love to sing and play guitar, and I also knit a lot (it’s been my hobby since I was 5, I’m a prodigy).
HC: Is there anything you want to accomplish by the end of this year? Any goal you are working towards? I hope that I am able to find a balance between classwork and all of my other activities. It is hard to make time in the day for everything, but my goal is to by the end of this year have a better sense of how to find balance.
HC: Where do you see yourself after graduation? If that’s too far, where do you see yourself in the next 2 or 3 years? I expect to have knitted approximately 50 hats by the time I graduate. Other than that, I will let you all know when I find out.
HC: What classes and subjects have been the most interesting to you? So far, my favorite class has been Developmental Psychology.
