Why did you choose Dickinson College: I chose Dickinson College because I knew I could take advantage of the strong academic program and opportunities. I also knew that I could create long lasting bonds with both professors and my fellow students. I was so excited by the opportunities to work in research with professors and get real world experience in my field. Between research and internships, and through a strong career services support system, I knew I would be able to leave Dickinson ready for a career. Ultimately, I was sure I would feel most comfortable in a Dickinson environment because of the close-knit community.

Interesting fact about yourself: My middle name is Rihyonce.

What I want my residents to know about me: I don't bite! Feel free to come to come and talk to me whenever you'd like to and don't be afraid to say hello!
