Why did you choose Trinity?
I chose Trinity because it felt like home. With small class sizes, engaged professors, and so many ways to get involved, you are given the chance to be part of Trinity’s community no matter which way you turn!

Favorite Class/Professor:
My favorite class at Trinity thus far has to be First Amendment Law and Policy with Professor Falk. This class encouraged dialogue while involving recent court decisions and current events.

Favorite Co-Curricular Activity:
The Venture Trinity Women’s Leadership orientation program! This program prepares first-year women with essential skills for college, the workforce, and beyond. It helped me get my jumpstart as a first-year student and now I am so happy to be able to give back to the program as a mentor to Trinity’s new classes of young women. Although our main program takes place in the fall, we run events throughout the year to promote and maintain the leadership, networking, and confidence skills taught throughout the program.

What do you love most about Trinity?
I love the Trinity community. It feels like one big family walking down the Long Walk!

What are your goals after you graduate from Trinity?
With the variety of internships I have been lucky enough to land throughout my time at Trinity, I am able to go in multiple directions with my career and hope to enter the workforce or continue my education after Trinity.

Favorite place on campus and/or in Hartford:
The Major College Events office in the President’s Office. I’m always there hanging out or working on something.

What’s one thing you wish you knew before coming to college?
That this big change is going to be so worth it! Take every opportunity you can!
