Why did you choose to attend Middlebury? I wanted a small school in northern New England away from home, which brought me to Middlebury. I appreciate Middlebury’s small size, unique traditions, the stunning mountains and its emphasis on sustainability. From my first semester here, I immediately felt welcomed by other students and faculty members and I love the friendliness and warmth of the community. I can’t wait for three more years! 

Favorite study spot? At the cozy chairs in the Davis Library looking out at the Green Mountains.

Favorite food in the dining hall? Black pepper tofu from Proctor or Middlebury marinara pasta with Impossible meat. 

Where did you study abroad, or where would you study abroad if you could? I haven’t had the opportunity to yet but I’d love to go to the UK or Denmark! 

Favorite Vermont spot? A sunny afternoon by Otter Creek - especially if it involves Otter Creek Bakery pastries or Sabai Sabai Thai food! 

One fun fact about you or unknown talent you have: I love to send (and receive) snail mail! I’m constantly on the lookout for fun stamps, postcards, and greeting cards to send to my family and pen pals.
