Why did you choose to attend Middlebury? Being born and raised in NYC, I wanted my college experience to be a completely different environment than what I was used to. I loved that Middlebury offered not only its aesthetically pleasing environment, but its strong sense of community seen through the variety of clubs & orgs. Middlebury made it super accessible to explore outdoor activities that I had never done like hiking or camping which was super fun!
Favorite study spot? The Abernathy Room in Axinn because I feel like I’m in a Harry Potter movie with the dark academia vibes.
Favorite food in the dining hall? The tomato soup (not roasted) in Ross for sure.
Where did you study abroad, or where would you study abroad if you could? I just returned from studying abroad in Córdoba, Spain during the spring semester where I took four courses at the Universidad de Córdoba.
Favorite Vermont spot? 3 Squares Café in Vergennes - they have really good breakfast burritos!
One fun fact about you or unknown talent you have: I went skydiving and bungee jumping in the same day for my 20th birthday and would totally do it again.
