STICK CHECK
What is the most adventurous thing you've ever done?
I went bungee jumping in South Africa with Kyra Hansson and
Courtney Bennett.
Do you have a pre-game ritual?
My dad calls me before every game to get me
pumped. Courtney and I sleep in our re-charge pants the night before, and
if it's a home game, we get game-day lattes at Dirt Cowboy.
Do you have a hidden talent?
I can recite 34 decimal places of Pi.
What is your major & why?
I'm a Government major. I had no intention on majoring in
Government until I took one class, Politics of the Environment which ended up
being my favorite class at Dartmouth. After that I took a couple more
Government classes and loved all of them. The department offers a really wide
variety of classes and the professors are great.
What was your first job?
Ellie Clayton and I had a lemonade and cookie stand at the
end of our road.
