How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?
Dickinson has prepared me both academically and socially for life after graduation. Having a liberal-arts education going into the sciences is so valuable, given how interdisciplinary the field is, allowing me to approach my work from a well-rounded perspective. Dickinson has taught me how to interact with people of different backgrounds and opinions, while also preparing me for a career in marine science, despite being in a land-locked state. I'm a D3 athlete with a double B.S. in biology and environmental science who also studied abroad for a year, and Dickinson has showed me that the sky's the limit, and with support of my peers and professors, I can be successful in whatever I put my mind to. I am looking forward to joining a rich network of Dickinson alumni!

Field of study: genetic counseling
