Your hometown? |
Originally Asheville, N.C.; high school in South Holland, Illinois; currently San Francisco, California. |
Why Wesleyan? |
Honestly it was just the feel of campus during my visit. I was considering a few schools and during the visit it just felt right. Obviously the academics were important, and I knew I’d have an opportunity to run track and still pursue music, which were both important to me at the time. |
Your major? |
International Studies (Asia-Pacific focus), Political Science minor |
Favorite professor or class? |
Dr. Thomas Lutze… just unbelievable taking classes on China with him. |
After Wesleyan? |
I worked in the Admissions Office and coached track for a couple years before moving to San Francisco to pursue graduate school in Asian-Pacific studies. I currently work in business development for an international eDiscovery service company. |
Biggest thrill or best memory? |
