1) What is your favorite MHC tradition? Why?
As an alumna, Laurel Parade. It’s such a powerful expression of sisterhood and legacy, of memory and the powerful set of women we’re connected to. As a student, Mountain Day. I still try to celebrate it now, to get outside, take a moment and appreciate the beauty of nature.
2) Favorite M&C?
Cupcakes! I’m a sucker for frosting.
3) Favorite class? / Favorite professor?
Religious Ethics with Jane. Penny Gill will be my advisor for life.
4) Favorite spot on campus to unwind? / Your favorite spot on campus?
The greenhouse in the winter, a burst of life in the cold winter. The Upper Lake bridge, a quiet space to relax especially in the fall.
5) What would the you from college be surprised to know about your life today?
I teach high school history and ended up spending close to 4 years in Egypt.

1) What is your favorite MHC tradition? Why?
Laurel Parade because it’s a tradition that I still get to enjoy as an alum.
2) Favorite M&C?
Too many to choose from! Either vegan cupcakes or magic cookie bars!!!
3) Favorite class? / Favorite professor?
Community Crossover. We visited a Head Start Program, a nursing home, and a prison and taught movement to each community. That class changed the way I view art and education.
4) Favorite spot on campus to unwind? / Your favorite spot on campus?
The green behind Dickinson. It’s a private oasis! Also, the green room at Rooke Theatre.
5) What would the you from college be surprised to know about your life today?
On my “Senior of the Week” column, I said that I wanted to go to grad school for theatre education and be a freelance theatre artist. I think the old me would be surprised to know that I actually did it! I’m living the dream!

1) What is your favorite MHC tradition? Why?
Laurel Parade, hands down. I love that so many alumnae come back to celebrate our sisterhood, and welcome the seniors into it—beautiful. Add accessories in class colors and Bread and Roses and it’ s unbeatable.
2) Favorite M&C?
Magic cookie bars. Yum!
3) Favorite class? / Favorite professor?
I loved John Grayson, Lenore Carlisle and Fran Deutsch. And though no psych majors will agree with me on this one, I really liked Research Methods, and Fran’s seminar on gender & domestic labor.
4) Favorite spot on campus to unwind? / Your favorite spot on campus?
I liked the docks on Upper Lake for unwinding, and the Mandelles Hill for sledding!
5) What would the you from college be surprised to know about your life today?
She’d be surprised that I’m not teaching, that I’ve taken up distance running, and that I work with power tools every day.
