Bio
Why Dartmouth?
Dartmouth had everything I wanted in a school - great academics, wonderful people and a completely different pace of life than the one I was used to back in New York.
How long have you been sailing and what got you interested in sailing?
I started sailing my freshman year at Dartmouth. Sailing presented a completely different challenge than the ones posed by other sports I played growing up. It's been an extremely rewarding experience so far.
What Sailing or Academic achievements are you particularly proud of?
I am on the Athletic Director's Honor Roll and a Peer Academic Link for the Dartmouth Economics department.
Tell us something interesting about you that might come as a surprise to your teammates.
I can cook.
What are your future sailing and career plans?
I don't have any specific aspirations for after graduation. But whatever it turns out to be, I'm going to be really good at it.
What sports or activities did you pursue in high school, and what do you hope to continue at Dartmouth?
In high school, I played softball for my school's varsity team and for a competitive league in New York City.I was also a member of a professional children's chorus, the Young People's Chorus of New York City, for seven years. I've participated in festivals and competed in choral competitions in the United States and abroad. My senior year, we won three gold medals for the United States at the World Choral Games in Graz, Austria.
