Major: Mathematics and Computer Science double major
Why I chose Colby: "I chose Colby because of how close we are to skiing. We’re truly lucky to have Quarry Road just 5 minutes from campus! Also the promise of a balance between skiing and academics."
Internship/Work Experience: "I'm a Teaching Assistant for the Colby Mathematics Department!"
Favorite Place on Campus: "Second floor of the Davis Science Center next to a blackboard."
Most Memorable Team Experience: "Finishing right next to my roommate and teammate Torsten at the end of the final 20K classic race our freshman year."
Plans After Colby: "I’ll most likely end up in graduate school. Hopefully at a place that allows me to mountain bike in the summer and ski during the winter!"
What Do You Think of the New Athletic Center?: "We’re very lucky to have a top notch facility. It’s become a beautiful place to workout, hangout, and study. It makes fitting in workouts around classes way easier!"
