What has been your favorite academic experience at Puget Sound and why?
My favorite academic experience was Anatomy. This was my favorite experience because I would go into office hours and get extra help from the lab assistants and my professor. I learned how to study the best for that class, and also got one-on-one time with my professor and also with the cadaver. It’s very unique to get an entire cadaver and professor’s attention to yourself, so I will always cherish that time and awesome experience.
In only one sentence, please describe what you value the most about your Puget Sound experience.
The relationships I get to build with my peers and professors.
What is one college moment or achievement you are the most proud of?
Being able to meet and talk to the Dean of Students about the passions that I have both inside and outside of the classroom.
If you could be any fictional character from a movie or a book who would it be and why?
Brooke Nolan from the book, "Spilled Milk." This was one of the only books that I read in a single day because it was so good! Her character is incredibly strong, wise and powerful, and that’s the kind of woman who I want to become in the future.
