What is something Puget Sound has taught you that you didn’t expect to learn?
I did not expect to learn that I really like chemistry! My high school experience with chemistry was awful but after taking one class here I realized that the professors in the chemistry department were amazing and I switched from being a Politics and Government major to chemistry major.
What is a passion that Puget Sound helped you find?
I came into college not really loving the violin and playing it only for my scholarship. Violin is now one of my favorite parts of my college experience. It has been such a steady factor for me these last three years and is a meditative process for me now.
What is the one song or album that best depicts your college experience thus far?
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."
If you woke up one morning with a super power, what would it be and what would be the first thing you would do with this new power?
Power to manipulate time so I could be part of more organizations at the school and replay some of my favorite moments!
