Greetings from Dickinson College! I am excited to connect with you, learn what you are hoping to get out of your college experience and help you learn more about the opportunities at Dickinson.
I chose to attend Dickinson because of the way my admissions counselor, Kate Guertin, made the school stand out in such a supportive way throughout the application process. I applied in the fall of 2020 through a virtual world due to the pandemic, and throughout the process, Kate addressed my inquiries very quickly with detailed responses. I felt very supported, and I even committed to Dickinson two days before I visited campus. That support from Dickinson, which started in the enrollment process, absolutely continued throughout my four years as a student, and it has carried on now as I have started as a staff member. This commitment to providing a caring, individualized support system for each Red Devil is a staple of the Dickinson experience.
I graduated with a psychology major and a minor in history. As a student, I was an admissions operations student employee, an Admissions Fellow and a member of the Liberty Cap Society. I also was a student ambassador on the Alumni Council, secretary of the Psychology Club and I played club volleyball all four years. I studied abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the spring semester of my junior year and I lived with a host family. Within the community of Carlisle, I volunteered with the local fire department.
A Few of My Favorite Aspects of Campus and Carlisle:
- Some essential campus activities include seeing a production at the Weiss Center for the Arts, attending Red Devil athletics matches at Biddle Field and the Kline Center and going to any MOB event.
- My favorite restaurants in town include Pitt Street Station, Pizza Grille, Misenos, 113 Social, Taqueria Laurita, North Hanover Grille and The Carlisle Diner.
- I love grabbing a coffee at Denim Coffee, a Carlisle shop located right downtown and on campus at The Quarry.
As your regional counselor, I will be a resource to you throughout your college process – be in touch anytime! As a recent Dickinson graduate, I can speak very highly of the college's commitment to supporting you as a student and providing you with a fabulous education. I look forward to meeting you!
