About Me
I am so so happy to have been a member and captain of the Varsity Volleyball team. All of my teammates have inspired me so much in so many different ways throughout my time at Oberlin, I literally would not be the person I am today if I had not met them. I also was a member of Pyle and Brown Bag Co-ops, which have both taught me so much about social responsibility in what I eat and consume and how to take care of myself and others around me. Oberlin has opened my mind in a multitude of ways, and I am so grateful to all the people who have supported me along the way!

Favorite Place
Asia House Library! I can get a lot of work done while smelling whats cooking downstairs in Pyle :)
Favorite Class
Geology 120! Zeb was an amazing professor, and as someone who has not always had positive experiences in science classes, I highly enjoyed his teaching style and all the stuff I learned about the Earth and its processes!
Athletics

Plum Creek Review
Memorable Oberlin Moment
One time, the volleyball team was driving back from some away game and one of our vans broke down. I was sleeping in the working van through the whole ordeal and didnt realize the whole team had crammed into our van until I woke up and saw some of my teammates sitting on the floor!
