My favorite Brandeis class/professor is...

My favorite class at Brandeis was one I took this past semester, called Families, Kinship and Sexuality. I was especially excited to take a class about families because I hope to go into family law after finishing my education. This class allowed me to learn more about family dynamics and how intersectionality influences them. I definitely feel much more confident in my ability to analyze and understand different family dynamics, and will definitely use this knowledge as I study family law.

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

The Gender and Sexuality Center. I have been a student worker at the GSC since the beginning of my sophomore year, and to me it represents community as well as a casual place to study and meet new people. During my shifts at the GSC, I often invite my friends to sit in the GSC with me and they invite others to do the same. I love the fact that the GSC has become more of a social space on campus.

I chose Brandeis because...

I was heavily involved in social justice initiatives in high school, and was drawn to Brandeis because I knew I would have more opportunities to advocate for others here. I also wanted to have the chance to live near a big city, as I am from a fairly rural area. I have been very grateful for the social advocacy opportunities I have had here at Brandeis.

My favorite activity outside of class is...

Baking, especially baking with friends! I am living in a suite-style residence hall this summer, and have access to my own kitchen. I’m so excited to learn to bake new things in my free time!
