Why did you choose Dickinson College: I know this is a total cliché, but my heart was here. I had visited many other schools that were amazing but when it came down to it I just felt that Dickinson was my school. Sometimes you go somewhere and know that's where you're supposed to be. Now that doesn't mean Dickinson is perfect but I know that there is a purpose for me being here and that's honestly confirmed with all the people I have met so far on this campus.

Interesting fact about yourself: I lived in Australia for five years and China for two

What I want my residents to know about me: During my first year at Dickinson, I was given the nickname "Aunty" within the first couple of weeks of school. Now at first, I was not fond of this name, but it kind of grew on me. In many ways I am Aunty; I'm the Aunt that you can come to for a rant, advice or just some cheering up. I love to play music, so you'll probably find me doing that with my door open, you're always welcome to stop by. I have a very compassionate and loving personality, and I genuinely care about people. In caring so much, I will be the one, to be honest with you and sometimes that can be important to experience because not a lot people will tell you the truth. I look forward to meeting each of you and hope that we can create an awesome residential community.
