Q: What did you do for fun during lockdown?

Q: Where do you call home?

A: Connecticut, USA.

Q: Tell us a random fact about yourself!

A: I went white water rafting for the first time this summer, and I would definitely recommend it.

Q: What excites you about PCJ or what is something you’re looking forward to about the program?

A: When I started out in the life sciences, I quickly realized that I wasn’t fully satisfied with the range of concepts I was learning so I am looking forward to the interdisciplinary nature of the coursework in PCJ and being challenged to view issues from various perspectives. I am also excited about the program’s emphasis on experiential learning and being part of a diverse and collaborative community.

Q: What are you looking forward to the most on campus?

A: I am excited to get to meet everyone in person and explore different parts of the city.
