Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin?
I had one of those cliché moments that when I came to Bowdoin, I fell in love.
Tell us about your gap year….what were the highlights? Where did you go?
I went to art school for a little bit, I went to culinary school, I did a knolls program and got my wilderness EMT, I did an art history kind of European culture program, I interned a little bit (at a bakery), and I worked as a wilderness trip leader at my old camp.
Most Embarrassing Moment?
Well recently I had an embarrassing moment. Over winter break I was flying to India and I had a layover in London. I was visiting friends from my gap year course. They were planning on having a party for me (very nicely of them), on Friday night because that was the day I was arriving. By accident I read my departure as my arrival on the plane ticket, so I got there Saturday morning when everyone was hung-over! I missed my own surprise party.
