Why did you choose to attend Middlebury? My experience during Preview Days sealed the deal. It was clear that Midd would provide the challenging, yet supportive environment I was looking for. Did I mention the mountains? 

Favorite study spot? The Grille. 

Favorite food in the dining hall? The chicken wings!

Where did you study abroad, or where would you study abroad if you could? I was not able to travel due to COVID. However, I would have gone to São Paulo, Brazil. 

Favorite Vermont spot? The boba and frozen yogurt shop in downtown Middlebury! 

One fun fact about you or unknown talent you have: I love acai bowls.
