What you do on campus:
I work at the circulation desk in the library and in a lab in the basement of Olin, where I take care of little finches. <3 
What is your favorite part about Colgate?
I love all of the wonderful people I’ve gotten to know and be friends with. <3
How do you like being a Benton Scholar?
It’s awesome. It’s given me incredible opportunities, experiences, and friendships. <3
What do you do in your free time?
At Colgate, I love hanging out with my besties, playing with my little friends (my two pet rats from where I work, Sassy and Tehya), and exploring the beautiful woods up the hill. When I’m home, I volunteer at Shy Wolf Sanctuary, Education and Experience Center, where I hang out with and care for wolves, wolfdogs, big cats, foxes, prairie dogs, and other animals that needed a place to live. They were all born in captivity and abandoned and/or neglected/abused, and most would have had to be euthanized if Shy Wolf didn’t take them. You can visit the sanctuary in Naples, FL and meet some of the animals (including the wolves). They’re absolutely amazing. www.shywolfsanctuary.com  I also like to hang out with my with my super cool brother Jakey, my doggies Jesse and Snickers, and my kitty Princess Dora Daisy Moo Moo Pants (aka Kitty).
Three fun facts about yourself: 
I all about maximizing friend-time.
My little brother Jakey is one of the best extreme pogoers ever, actually. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjckBVExwB0
I for sure have the best-a** roommates ever. <3
