What elements from your Dickinson experience had the biggest impact on your time in college?
The biggest impact was definitely my time on the swim team. I learned leadership, responsibility and time management skills that have helped me in other aspects of my life. Outside of that, being a New Student Guide gave me a lot of perspective on college and life in general and helped me meet a group of people I otherwise wouldn't have known.

Dickinson has opened many doors for my postgrad journey, including securing my job, as it was a Dickinson-connected posting on Handshake. I am also looking forward to working along other Dickinson alumni at AlphaSights, as the community is very close knit and there to help one another. My major, IB&M, prepared me for this job, as it is a mix of consulting, sales, financials, marketing and global market knowledge, which the major touches on.

What elements from your Dickinson experience had the biggest impact on your time in college?
The biggest thing for me was probably my experience in Dialogues Across Differences, which all started because Prof. Noreen Lape, who led the program, was my First-Year Seminar professor and asked me to be a part of it. I doubt any part of my Dickinson experience was more impactful than being a part of that amazing program. I truly feel so blessed to have had that experience. It's exactly what the world needs right now.
The second most impactful element of my Dickinson experience was joining Dickinson Christian Fellowship (DCF) in my second week of school, despite me not remaining an active member in my later years. The reason it was so impactful was because through it I was able to find good friends that eventually became my close group of friends that I have to this day. Through those friends I was able to have a very enjoyable experience at Dickinson and learn so much about what friendship can be. I even met my girlfriend through my friend group and studied abroad with her and other DCF friends. I owe much of the best parts of my Dickinson experience to DCF.
