What is the best course you’ve taken at LU? |
Field Experience in Clinical Psychology from the Psychology department. This was a seminar class where everyone was involved in an internship in the clinical field. I got to work in a home for women with schizophrenia, borderline personalities, and bipolar disorder. Our classes consisted of discussing our clients and figuring out an appropriate course for therapy. |
What is your favorite part about being a Lawrentian? |
I love being a Lawrentian because I get to take control of my academic career and meet fascinating new people. |

|
Which is your favorite resident hall? |
Ormsby Hall because it’s an absolutely beautiful old building with wood floor and walk-in closets. It has a lot of character. |
What is your fondest memory of your roommate from freshman year? |
I had a great time with my freshman-year roommate when we were just hanging out and studying. We would spread out all of our stuff on the carpet, prop ourselves up on pillows and listen to music while chatting and doing our homework. |
What is something you wish you would have brought with you freshman year? |
I wish I had brought a mini-refrigerator for snacks. |
|

If you were a fruit, which would you be? |
I would be a papaya because I would get to live in the most beautiful tropical places in the world. |
If you were a crayon or paint swatch, what color would you be? |
Atomic Tangerine because I’d show up on any color paper. |
What is something LU helped you learn about yourself? |
I’ve learn from LU that it’s ok to show up to class in your pajamas. |
