1. What are you involved in on campus?
On-campus, I work in the CWAA as a writing and French tutor and peer academic coach. I’m the director of the Stonehill Musical Theater Club (which just put on its production of 9 to 5!) and president of the Goose Troupe Improv Comedy Club. When I’m not at work or club meetings, you can find me hanging out with friends in the dorm, playing Dungeons and Dragons, or getting donuts from Dunks. 2. What do you do as [insert role mentioned above] (for example, Goose Troupe or Director of SMTC, writing tutor, pick one!)
As president of Goose Troupe, I run our weekly meetings (every Wednesday at 8 in Duffy 101!), in which students can watch/participate in a variety of hilarious improv games. I also collaborate with the rest of the eboard to plan fun events, such as Bad Movie Nights and live shows at The Hill. 3. What is your favorite memory at Stonehill?
Tough question - there’s so many to choose from! I think one of my favorite nights was when the power went out on campus sophomore year. Although it sounds like it would have been a bad situation, my friends and I decided to make the most of it. We trekked to the Sem for hot food (which tasted so much better after walking through the cold), then went to Meehan and played board games all night. It ended up being so much fun and a nice, unexpected break from work. 4. What is your advice to first-year students?
My advice is to say yes to the things you want to say yes to. College is the best time to explore your different interests and develop meaningful relationships. If you’re nervous about doing something new or not sure if you’ll be good at it, just say yes! You’ll never know unless you give it a try, and no matter what, you’ll learn something about yourself along the way. 5. What are you looking forward to as a senior?
I’m looking forward to making even more awesome Stonehill memories in my last few months here! I can’t wait to spend time with people on campus and celebrate our achievements with senior events. I’m also excited to pass down the torch in the different clubs I’m involved in; even though I’ll be sad to leave, I can’t wait to see the underclassmen take on leadership roles and get ready to make future students’ experiences great in the years to come.
