I grew up on Long Island in New York, surfing, writing, playing sports, and making art. Being from New York, with beaches one way and a large city the other, I used to wonder why I chose to go to school in Ohio. I didn't wonder for long, though; Oberlin is one of the best choices I've ever made. It introduced so many wonderful people, friends, professors, and mentors that made me want to push myself in ways I never imagined possible before. I found new interests and passions, grew out of old ones, and obtained more knowledge than I may ever know what to do with. It also gave me a place to feel like I belonged, and one where I was able to become the most liberated version of myself.

North quad. It's more quiet and less crowded than Wilder Bowl, but is still a great place to soak in the sun and the beauty of the campus with friends!

Problems of Philosophy with Todd Ganson. It was one of the first classes I ever took at Oberlin, and made me fall in love with philosophy!

Softball

Intramural softball was one of my most fun and memorable experiences at Oberlin
