Hometown: Scarborough, ME

Major/Minor: Individual & Psychology major

Campus Activities: I am an Outdoor Facilitator and Brand Coordinator for the Garthwait Leadership Center as well as the Risk Manager for Phi Delta Theta. I also play Ultimate Frisbee for the club team.

Favorite Experience: My favorite experience in Budapest was a day when I decided to walk for about 8 hours around the entirety of the central city, on both sides of the Danube. I saw so much that I would have never seen had I not decided to go on a journey around the city. Seeing so many people just living their lives made me realize just how many people there are in the world and how many memories are being made every day.

New/Exciting Course Abroad: My favorite course abroad was Multicultural Management, which was such a new take on how folks from different cultures come into the workplace and how to find success in negotiations that are multicultural in nature. This has expanded my ability to interact in various spaces at Gettysburg College but also beyond, including future professional opportunities.
