Major/Minor:
Theater & Dance and Political Science

Why did you choose Trinity?
The fact that I could tailor my academic and social college experience to the way I wanted it to be rather than what is “dictated” or considered “right” was what really attracted me to Trinity. The opportunity to do radically varied things without it becoming an issue was really important for me.

Favorite Class/Professor:
Authoritarianism with Dr. Reo Matsuzaki

Favorite Co-Curricular Activity:
The International House and the many events they organize.

What do you love most about Trinity?
The community I have created for myself here and the wholehearted support I have received from faculty and staff in pursuing my passions.

What are your goals after you graduate from Trinity?
While the specifics are still a little undecided, the goal is to end up doing something that brings me joy and satisfaction.

Favorite place on campus and/or in Hartford:
The Sunset Rock right next to campus!

What’s one thing you wish you knew before coming to college?
The people you surround yourself with dictate your college experience. Do things that make you happy and not necessarily things that you think will be well received by others.
