Major: Maths

Nerdy question, first: What is your favorite math theorem? Or alternatively, what made you fall in love with math?

My relationship with math has been growing for a long time. I think I love it, yeah. But I’m not sure. I’m only clear on that with people.

You’re involved with a bunch of different things on campus—women’s rugby, the QSU, the American Mathmatical Society, and the Association for Women in Math—is there a common thread between the things that you choose to spend your time on?

I’m pretty involved in being queer. W/r/t to clubs I like the spaces. They’re very different to me, just important.

What has been the highlight of your experience at Williams?

I met people whom I love.

What advice do you have for students here who are struggling to find their place on campus?

Ditch stuff you don’t like (ditch stuff you kind of like)? Think about what’s most important to you? Talk yourself into liking yourself?? Let your heart be overflowing with love? Idfk man????

I'm Johanna. Part time badass. Part time explorer. Resident rugby player. Lover of words. Liker of lists. And your most fabulous teller of Williams tales.
