  What is your favorite Bryn Mawr memory or favorite thing about Bryn Mawr?

  My favorite thing about Bryn Mawr is all of the amazing opportunities offered to the students. This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Cape Town, South Africa on academic exchange to study at the Herschel School. During my time there, I had the chance to meet new people, participate in sports, travel around the country (including a safari), and learn more about the culture and history of South Africa. This experience expanded on what I learned about in the history classroom during my first two years at Bryn Mawr.

I love Bryn Mawr and want to share this love and sense of belonging with potential students. Bryn Mawr has done so much for me so wanting to be an ambassador was a no brainer.
  
  What is your favorite spot on campus?
  My favorite place on campus is the turf. Going to field hockey or lacrosse practice always grounds me. I like that for 2 hours after school everyday you just focus on the task at hand and you get to be fully present. It is so motivating to be surrounded by teammates constantly pushing themselves, and you, to be better all while having fun. So many of my favorite Bryn Mawr memories happen on the turf including playing spikeball with my friends in the spring.

  How long have you been at Bryn Mawr?
  I came the summer before Kindergarten and have been at Bryn Mawr ever since. This is my 12th Year!
  
  What are else are you involved in?
  I am involved with Bridges, Track and Field (indoor and outdoor). I will also be working with the Upper School and Middle School Dance Companies as well as the Lower School Dance School.
  
  Favorite Bryn Mawr Tradition:
  I think my favorite tradition is the ring ceremony. I love that the seniors get to give the rings to the sophomores. I was lucky enough to be very close with the senior class that was giving the class of ’25 our rings which made it extra special. I think there is something so comforting about reaching this major milestone with the people that have helped us get there; our classmates, teachers, and upperclassmen. 

  
  

  Favorite Place on Campus:
  I love all of the outdoor spaces on campus, especially when the weather is nice, everything is so open and beautiful in the fall and spring. I can see things happening all over campus, people always stop and say “Hi!” and it is just so nice to spend my free time outside between or after classes.

  
  

  Favorite Bryn Mawr memory:

  An easy answer is Gym Drill. I love sitting in the gym right before we go onto the field, the rush to make sure we all have our sashes pinned, our hair braided, and remember all the steps. But my more niche memory is my afternoons spent on the quad with my friends in the spring. Either studying or just talking and catching up after our day. The weather is so nice, the campus is so calm and everything is starting to bloom and everything is just so nice.

  What is your favorite class and why?
  English easily! I love to read and write so for me English has always been super fun. Through my time in the Upper School I have been able to grow so much as a reader and writer, I have learned to look deeper into what I am reading and explain myself fully in my writing. A lot of our classes are discussion based and I have always loved being able to talk to my classmates and hear what they have to say about what we are reading. I always seem to learn something new when I am talking to someone else rather than just working by myself.

Our teacher, Dr. Spector-Marks, pushed me to become a better  historian, and helped me gain a completely new outlook and understanding of the importance of history and how truly fascinating the subject and class is.
