Program of Emphasis: Social Studies Secondary Education

Hometown: Bellefonte, PA

High School: Bellefonte Sr. High School

Why I chose to attend Juniata: I chose to come to Juniata for two reasons. The first reason was because of the Biology program, which I switched out of during my first semester of college. And the second reason was to play on the Women's Basketball team. I really was captivated by the community environment Juniata has, the small classes and the opportunity to get to know the professors and staff.

Clubs and Organizations: Resident Assistant for the Residential Life Office. I am the RA of the third floor of Sherwood Hall for the school year and I carry out the typical duties of an RA at Juniata.

Varsity Sports: Women's Basketball

Most Interesting Class: The most interesting class I have taken this year was PS 230. The class was an interactive class at either the Democratic or Republican National Convention run through The Washington Center. I participated at the Democratic Convention. The first week of the program was an academic seminar and the second week every student with the Washington Center was given a field placement. I was placed with the Pennsylvania Delegation. My time with the delegation and at the convention was amazing and it was a great opportunity that Juniata presented me with.

Favorite Faculty Member: Dr. Plane has made a difference in my life because he was the professor who organized the convention program with The Washington Center and the College. Without his work and acceptance of me into the class, I would not have been able to experience the convention in Charlotte.
