I am a rising junior majoring in biology and HSSP with a minor in French. I am a runner for the Brandeis Track and Field team and love to lift as well. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with friends, watching Netflix, baking and hiking. I have been speaking French for about eight years and love to learn about different francophone cultures. Post-graduation, I want to attend medical school and my dream job is to be an emergency room doctor and work in a French-speaking country in Africa.

I am a rising senior, double majoring in art history and French and Francophone atudies. I am a program coordinator for Junior Brandeis Achievers (JBA), an after-school program for elementary schools in Waltham Group. I am also the social media and outreach coordinator for the French Club at Brandeis. I just returned from studying abroad in Spring 2022 in Paris and had an amazing time. I would like to go to graduate school and have a career in the art world as a museum curator. Outside of school, I like exploring new cities, hanging out with friends and being outdoors. I also enjoy painting and drawing. I am currently teaching myself to play the guitar. Fun fact: I am a dual citizen of both the United States and the United Kingdom.
