Hello! I'm a student at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Mass. My hometown is Keene, NH, a wonderful place. I'm a proud graduate of Keene High School, and I've also attended Fuller School, Keene Middle School, Beauchamp College, and the St. Paul's School Advanced Studies Program.

At school, I spend much of my time writing for the Mount Holyoke News. I also participated in the Service and Leadership Odyssey (link coming soon!), and I'm a member of the Abbey Chapel Council of Deacons. I'm currently employed by the Odyssey Bookshop; this summer I will return to the InterTown Record for another summer internship.

I'm a member of the United Church of Christ in Keene. While in high school I went on several amazing mission trips with the church's Sr. High Youth Group, including one to Washington, D.C. where we stayed at the Washington Seminar Center and worked at D.C. Central Kitchen, Miriam's Kitchen, the Church of the Brethren Kitchen, and the Arlington/Alexandria Coalition for the Homeless. We also worked at Ryder Hospital, Humacao, Puerto Rico and Freedom House, Detroit, Michigan. To say that these trips changed my life may be cliched, but is no understatement.

In high school I was also a member of the Keene High School Band, and was able to spend a wonderful weekend at the New England Young Writers' Conference.

My sophomore year of high school was spent living outside of Leicester, England in the village of Scraptoft. Though there is no Web page for Scraptoft itself, you can see some village scenes on the page of DeMontfort University's Scraptoft campus. The Leicester daily newspaper is the Mercury. I love England, and hope to return there during my year abroad, possibly to Oxford University.

My twin passions are writing and saving the world . . . this has led to some confusion. Do I want to win a Pulitzer Prize, or do I want to join the Peace Corps? Yet in spite of any uncertainty about the future, I am usually very happy to have my multifaceted, exciting, and certainly never boring life.
