Favorite thing about Eastern:
The campus size was the perfect feel for me while attending Eastern.  It’s small enough to have personal relationships and connections to professors and staff, while large enough to always meet new people.  Eastern gives students an incredible support system, inside and outside the classroom.

Hobbies:
Hiking, reading, attending athletic events (Pittsburgh Steelers and Boston Red Sox fan), and traveling!

Interesting fact about me:
I am a graduate of Eastern (Class of 2017) and completed an internship in Cape Town, South Africa for two months after my junior year.

Advice I would give to a student applying to Eastern:
Don’t be afraid to ask any questions that come to mind, we are only a phone call or text away.  Be proactive throughout the admissions process and most importantly, believe in yourself and all that you can accomplish.

Favorite place to eat in Willimantic:
Thread City Diner
