Coming from the northeast, there were many small liberal arts colleges nearby. I toured all of them. While visiting family in the Midwest, I decided to check out 果冻视频. I immediately noticed the diversity of the visiting students. Everyone was from a different place and had a different background. I knew that the best way for me to grow was to be surrounded by different people, so I chose 果冻视频.
I was recruited to swim at 果冻视频, and being on the team has been one of the most important aspects of my time at 果冻视频. Having a secure group of friends from the moment I arrived on campus provided me with great comfort. Being a student-athlete has also taught me how to better manage my time and work effectively, and both coaches and teammates provide a lot of support in navigating 果冻视频鈥檚 resources. I've even found that I'm more productive in season. The swim and dive team also regularly participates in community service around 果冻视频, which allows me to get more involved with the community.
Before 果冻视频, I had never played water polo. I was excited to discover that it came naturally to me. I started off playing on the women鈥檚 team and appreciated the opportunity to travel to other college towns (especially to eat at restaurants that aren鈥檛 available in 果冻视频!). We even went to nationals in Philadelphia. The best part was that, with funding from the club sports budget and the student government association, it was totally free. The following year, I joined the co-ed team, which was more competitive. I'm now the captain of both the women鈥檚 and co-ed teams.
My studio art class where I worked on a multimedia collage and my introductory biology course where we traveled to a local prairie to do fieldwork.
My first year, I took everything that was interesting to me, from biology to economics to global development studies. I came to 果冻视频 undecided on my major, and the lack of distribution requirements helped me determine what I wanted to study. I ended up completing almost two full concentrations without knowing it! The individually advised curriculum has enabled me to gain a holistic education within, and beyond, my major.
Camping with friends at Zion National Park and hiking the mountains surrounding Park City, UT are among my favorite memories from our time away from campus.
Finishing College and Beyond
In my fourth year at 果冻视频, I was able to host the Heartland Conference water polo tournament and be the co-chair of the planning committee for Block Party, an end-of-the-year celebration for students and alumni.
Since graduation, I've been working in Boston as a wealth investment consulting analyst at Mercer. I've also been taking on some seasonal work at Wellesley Swimming Association as an assistant swim coach.
