Why I Chose Colby: I have always loved Maine, and knew that I wanted to go to a small liberal arts school to build strong relationships with others and have a more personal learning environment.

Internship/Work Experience: Worked at One Mighty Mill, a food start-up company started by two Colby alums.

Major: Global Studies major and Environmental Studies minor

Favorite Place on Campus: The Mary Low Coffeehouse

Most Memorable Team Experience: Snowy, cold morning rows on Messalonskee Stream as we patiently wait for the lake to thaw--there is always so much excitement to finally be on water after a winter of erging.
