My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

Spring fest! Or maybe the occasional therapy dogs. It's hard to pick one.

My favorite place on campus, in Waltham or in Boston is...

I like going to Global Thrift in Waltham - so many of my clothes are from there!

My favorite activity outside of class is...

going down to Waltham with my friends to eat or go to the arcade is always really fun! I also like to join the cultural events that are always happening around campus. Everyone puts a lot of effort in organizing them and it's always such a good time to get to see more of a different culture.

My favorite Brandeis class/professor is...

Prof. Ellen Schattschneider, is my favorite, no doubt! She is the Undergraduate Advising Head of the Anthropology Department and she teaches courses about Anthropology of Religion, Cultural and Psychological Anthropology, as well as East Asian Studies and Women and Gender Studies. I like to say that out of everyone I know, I would choose her to be my all-time therapist, because she is a great listener, but also very intelligent and wise.

I'm passionate about...

Positive peace building Positive Psychology Education

I'm involved with...
