Majors: Anthropology and Social Work
About me: I am a sophomore from Amherst, Massachusetts. I am a member of the Women's Basketball team here at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø and I'm also a Peer Health Educator. I enjoy playing pickup basketball, doing work with friends at different coffee shops, and having movie nights. I also enjoy traveling and visiting new places when given the opportunity!
Why PAC? I used PAC all the time my first semester at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, and it was incredibly helpful in the transition to college level coursework. I would love to help create a good studying environment and pass on some of the skills I've used to be successful here.
Favorite Class and Why? My favorite class so far has been Introduction to Cultural Anthropology in my first semester at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø. This was a basic intro class, but I loved the overview of what was to come in the Anthropology department. The class never felt like "work" because everything we were learning was interesting and important in the world around us. Definitely convinced me to become an Anthropology major!
Academic Advice: Find what works for you! I struggle with organization and time management, and it has taken a lot of trial and error to figure out what system I can use to stay on top of everything. We all have different preferences and that's okay!
