Tell me about where are you from:

I am from Abington, Pennsylvania, a suburb just north of Philadelphia. 

How does the weather at Amherst compare to the weather back home?:

Very similar!  

Why did you choose to attend Amherst?: 

I chose Amherst because my cousin, who is a year older than me, visited during his junior year of high school and said it was the perfect school for me. I visited and couldn’t have agreed more. 

What are you interested in both academically and leisurely?: 

I’m interested in both Psychology and English. In my leisure time, I like to sing and play flute, draw and paint, and people watch. I also love to give tours of campus!

What are you passionate about the most?: 

I’ve always really loved brushing my teeth.  

 
What are your plans for the rest of your time at Amherst and beyond: 

Man plans, God laughs.  

If you could make one change to the world, playful or serious, what would it be?:  

One thing I’d do is eliminate allergies. That way flowers could be everywhere and everyone could smell them and be happy.

What’s something you’ve always wanted to say but never got the chance to say it?:  

“Judge me by my size, do you?” (in the Yoda voice)
