Why I chose Colby: "Every person I met from Colby made me feel like this was an exceptional community that cared about bringing out the best in everyone. When an opportunity to become part of a community like that comes along, you can't pass it up. Four years later and I haven't looked back once."
Summer Internship/Work Experience: Held internships at Lot Sixteen, FTI Consulting, and Eazel Inc.
Major: Government
Plans after Colby: "After Colby, I want to do meaningful work in lobbying or consulting, working towards goals and on projects that will have an important impact on the issues that plague our country and people around the world. It's idealistic, but I like it that way. Colby has taught me that if I can't see a path to that leads me to my goals, I'll need to pave my own."
