Environmental Studies / English, PhilosophyQ&A
Hometown? West Chester
High School? Henderson High School
Favorite Classes at WC? Chaucer-it was a chance to get involved in a subject that I knew very little about and turned out to be engaging and challenging. Birds of the Chesapeake-this was a chance to study birds in depth and has provided me opportunities for internships and potentially graduate school.
Recommended Professors? Professor Olsen- he’s readily available for students to talk with and is a great mentor and professor. Professor Munson- an intelligent and dedicated professor who is also willing to hang around after class for a few laughs with his students.
Most Memorable Experience as a First-Year Student? Freshman year when Professor Hiortdahl took us all out on the Chester River to go fishing!
If I were an Animal? I would be a Chipmunk because I’m a bit spazzy and I have a tendency to save everything.
One Thing You Shouldn’t Forget to Pack? A reliable pillow!
