What do you absolutely love about Mount Holyoke?
There are too many things to count! If I had to pick an absolute favorite, it would be the history of Mount Holyoke and what it means to have gone here. Being a MoHo is something so much bigger than just having graduated from Mount Holyoke, and it feels amazing to be a part of that.
Are you involved in any student organizations or sports? What are some of your favorite memories with them?
I’m a walk-trot-canter rider for the Mount Holyoke Equestrian Team. One of my favorite memories with the team is when we were waiting for our coach to finish up something at the end of a horse show, and we all went nuts with impatience and started taking crazy pictures of ourselves dancing on a hill.
Who’s your favorite pony and why?
Rhumpy, Victor, Seamus, Edee, Dolly, Cheif, Will, Sox, Buddy….. this is like asking a mother to pick her favorite child!
Describe your current trending style.
American classic with a hint of preppy. The quote I live by is “Style never goes out of fashion.” Trends come and go, style is forever, and you either have it or you don’t.
Would you rather teach me how to Dougie, the Soldier Boy, or the Gangnum Style? And why?
Soldier Boy, because it is the only one I legitimately know how to do, and I once taught some kid at a night club how to do it so I’d already have experience teaching it!
Your three most recently played songs:
“My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark” by Fall Out Boy, “Back in Your Head” by Tegan and Sara, and “Ragged Wood” by Fleet Foxes.
What are your summer plans?
At the moment, I’m working on an internship with Banana Republic. If that doesn’t work out, I have a job waiting for me at the San Francisco Opera costume shop. I’m really excited about it, so if I’m forced to choose, it’s going to be a tough one!
