While in College…
I graduated from St. Lawrence in 2007 with a combined major in French and Canadian Studies,and minored in Education. On campus, I was President of the Senior Class and involved with student government. Through our off campus programs, I was able to study abroad in France, Canada, and twice in Senegal. I also worked in the admissions office as a tour guide and intern, which led to my interest in the admissions field.

International and national politics, following SLU hockey, reading, all sorts of music, travel, hiking the Adirondacks, and I'm starting to dabble in photography.
What I like about St. Lawrence
I ultimately chose to attend St. Lawrence – and decided not to leave – because of our unique location, strong sense of community, and the emphasis placed on international study.
