Why I chose Wesleyan: I loved how Wes seemed like a judgement-free environment of exploration for people to push themselves. One of the biggest pulls to Wes for me was the student theater scene. It is so accessible and easy to jump into — and that’s true of all different activities here. I loved that this was also true academically and socially — there’s room to move, it’s easy to experiment with all kinds of different interests and groups, and I would never feel like I was being put in a box.
Academic Interests: Theater, Sociology, and Dance
Favorite class at Wes: August Wilson (First Year Seminar) taught by Rashida McMahon
Current Classes: Contemporary Dance Technique II/III Baby Got Back: Embodiment, Gender, and Sexuality in Black Music Acting II Intro to Costume Design for Performance Advanced Performance Practice
Why I want to be a tour guide: I want to be help anyone and everyone imagine themselves here, and imagine a world in which college is something they, too, can love an embarrassing amount. Because I truly believe that there is a space for everyone here at Wesleyan.
