What elements from your Dickinson experience had the biggest impact on your time in college?
A main element from my Dickinson experience definitely would be my time with the Center for Civic Learning & Action. CCLA, for the past three years as a transfer student, has allowed me to connect and foster relationships with the local Carlisle community. Being able to volunteer on a service trip and days of service has been the most impactful experience for me at Dickinson.

How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?
Dickinson's professors in the English and American studies have been the main contributors to preparing me for a professional career after graduation. I gained various soft and hard skills, like critical thinking, actually writing amidst an emerging AI world, critiquing my peer's thoughts and effective group scholarly conversations. In general, being president of a Greek organization has also prepared my communication and team working skills as well as increasing my confidence as a communicator in general.
