YOUR PERSPECTIVES ON ACADEMICS: In high school I sometimes wondered how certain subjects would ever be useful to me in the future. In my courses in political science, every topic is relevant to current world affairs. Politics is everywhere.

I love the campus, but I think that it is the people at Wellesley that make it a great place to learn. My professors are always enthusiastic about helping me explore my academic passions, and the many lectures that Wellesley sponsors have added to my academic experience outside the classroom.

RESEARCH: I conducted research about the gap in access to technology in American schools; in the future I would like to do an independent study in political science at Wellesley or at MIT and possibly write a thesis.

BEST THING ABOUT WELLESLEY (OR WOMEN'S COLLEGE):If I had to name one aspect about Wellesley that would make me choose it again in the college search process, it would be the amazing women who study here. My fellow students are diverse, motivated, and compassionate. The experience of living and learning at Wellesley cannot be matched simply because Wellesley is not a place that can be duplicated. We are Wellesley; we make it what it is.

DREAM JOB:
I would like to involved in politics or have my own law firm. After graduation, I would like to live in Europe or Latin America for a couple of years and then attend law school.

FUN FACT: I love foreign languages! I am currently learning my fourth language and I will study abroad in France next year.
