How do you like Tufts so far?
Great, except for the fact that I live downhill, and I like Carm more.
Is Tufts what you expected?
No, not really. There’s a lot more Top 40 music than I expected.
What are you involved in on campus?
I write for the feature sections of The Daily, am a proud member of the Dems (Hill yes!), am an analyst for the Tufts Financial Group, and I want to be a tour guide because I’m really good at walking backwards.
What do you miss about home?
Water pressure
Best memory at Tufts so far?
Every time the song “Closer” comes on.

Herbed corn from Carm
