Why did you choose Goucher?
"I wanted a school that allowed you to take classes in different majors before taking required classes, offered various academic help resources, and had more discussion-based learning."

What student organizations are you involved with?
"The Student Engagement Team and the LGBT+ Media Exchange."

What is your favorite Goucher memory or tradition?
"My favorite Goucher tradition is GIG—Get Into Goucher. Classes are canceled for food, a mechanical bull, bounce houses, live music, and various other activities."

What piece of advice would you like to share with high school seniors?
"Get involved! Besides joining clubs, Community-Based Learning, Club Board, and Judicial Board (and many other extracurricular activities) teach skills you can use in “the Real World.” Also, Google Calendar is hype."
