Major: Psychology and Visual Art
Impact of Scholarship—I am able to attend Wheaton because of the scholarships I received. I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to attend Wheaton through these scholarships because I have absolutely loved my four years here. I have grown so much, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of scholarship donors.
Wheaton Experience—My favorite spot on campus this semester has been my little studio space in the carpenter building to work on my senior art independent study. I also have always loved the Dimple, and the May Room in Mary Lyon where Whims has rehearsals. I have loved almost all of the professors I have had here at Wheaton, which feels really special.
Activities—I am a member of Wheaton Whims and Lymin’ Lyons Steel Drum Band.
Career Goals and Aspirations—I am planning on pursuing a degree in art therapy eventually, but I am also hoping to focus on my personal love for art as well, and pursuing a career where I get to be creative.
