Three things you would bring to a desert island: “I would bring Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio, an abundance of purple tea, and sudoko puzzles.”
What are your career ambitions: “I am going to catch babies with my bare (gloved) hands. This is called midwifery.”
Why did you come to Mount Holyoke: “When I came to visit Mount Holyoke I was able to go to the Senior Symposium. I was just taken aback at how passionate each woman was about her work. That’s really what I want while I’m here; I want to have that passion and to have the opportunities to change the little corner of the world that I want to have an effect on.”
