Activities

From interacting on campus to being an avid baker, I keep myself busy with my extracurricular activities.

On Campus

At Dickinson, I was involved with a wide variety of clubs and organizations.

THE CENTER FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVING ("Treehouse")

This special interest house specialized in sustainable living, and served as my home on campus for four semesters. As a member of the 14-member cooperative, I worked with my housemates to host events in our shared space. I served as the Soup and Bread coordinator for three semesters, organizing our bi-semester event in which we hosted a speaker and served house-made soup and bread to guests. Additionally, I grew over my time at the Treehouse to take on more sustainable living habits, as well as becoming a better educator for issues in sustainability.

Pre-Vet Club (co-leader)

The interest group on campus devoted to pre-vet students, I acted as a co-leader and helped to organize various events on and off campus, such as leading a livestock orientation at the farm. I also served in a secretarial capacity, keeping the meeting minutes and corresponding with members, in addition to distributing journal articles for our journal club.

Arts Collective (secretary)

In Dickinson's Fine Arts club, I was secretary for four semesters, in addition to living in the Arts Collective house during my sophomore year. I worked diligently on the Executive Board to organize events, from our regular meetings to the annual Juried Show. In April of 2019, I organized an event to create cat-themed art that was sold at a campus art fair, and all proceeds went to feed the feral cats outside of Dickinson's art studio.

Art

I have always loved creating art, working with mediums in the fine arts to needlecrafts.

Baking

I learned to bake and cook from my mother, and it's turned into one of my favorite pastimes.

In spring of 2018, I started assisting with the College Farm's "Gather" dinners as the pastry chef.

The College Farm's "Gather" feature a local chef using farm-grown ingredients to create a four course meal. I've learned so much from the guest chefs about food preparation and working in the restaurant industry.
