How has being at UConn changed you?

I have learned something very important from each person I have connected with here, which has molded my outlook on friendships, ambition, commitment, service – being able to lean on and in turn support those I have become close to has allowed me finally to become the person I really wanted to be four years ago. (My threshold for cold weather is also probably higher.)

Was there a defining moment during your UConn career?

Working in Paris the summer after sophomore year was one of the best times of my life!

Where are you headed after graduation?

To an MD/Ph.D. program, where I will be on the hunt for free food and maybe some secrets of the universe.

What would you tell someone who is considering UConn?

When you first get here, joining every club is a fantastic idea (but then just make sure you drop at least a few down the line!).

Write your memoir in six words.

Random choices were the best ones.
