| Location | Hanover, New Hampshire, United States |
| Introduction | I grew up in the tiny little town of Westbrookville, New York, just about where New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania come together. I came to Dartmouth thinking I'd major in engineering, but graduated in 2009 as a government major concentrating in international relations and an environmental studies minor. As an undergrad, I sang with the Dartmouth Cords, an all male a cappella group, and was a Rockefeller Leadership Fellow, a War and Peace Fellow, and an Undergraduate Adviser. I started working in admissions about a month after graduation and am responsible for the tour guide program, Take Dartmouth Home, web and social media, and alumni communications. |
