What elements from your Dickinson experience had the biggest impact on your time in college?

The small class sizes at Dickinson have afforded me the opportunity to build close professional and academic relationships with professors that have shaped my internship experiences, professional goals and, most importantly, my character. The professors at Dickinson are passionate, kind and more than anything want to watch their students succeed. I am extremely grateful to professors Burgin, Menon, Marchetti, Sagastume and Sosa for their individual support, advice and cheerleading. I could not have done any of this without them.

What elements from your Dickinson experience had the biggest impact on your time in college?

My trips abroad while at Dickinson were really integral to my learning, as when working to gain fluency in a second language, you need to be immersed completely. Dickinson in Málaga was an amazing opportunity, as well as the smaller trip I took to the Basque region for a literature class.
