HOMETOWN: Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania
MAJOR(S): Cross-Cultural Business Ethics, Whittier Scholars Program
ACTIVITIES/INVOLVEMENT: Office of Admissions Ambassador, Residential Community Advisor, President of Anime Club, Co-President of Trading Card Game Club, Ondrasik-Groce Fellow
FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR ON CAMPUS: JanTerm. It’s an awesome time to explore SoCal when you’re not in class. If you haven’t yet, you need to go to Little Tokyo.
MOST CHALLENGING CLASS TAKEN: Classical Philosophy. Got a 49/100 on the first test. Buckled down and got a 98/100 on test #2. My professor’s reaction made the studying worth it.
WHAT WHITTIER COLLEGE MEANS TO ME: The person I was my first day here wouldn’t recognize the person I am today. It’s all thanks to the opportunities Whittier offers. I’ve met so many people and have had so many amazing conversations. Many of the professors here will have a lifelong impact on my life.
MOST INTERESTING THING I LEARNED AT WHITTIER: How to speak Japanese!
BEST THING ABOUT BEING AN ADMISSIONS AMBASSADOR: I love hearing about a student’s interests and being able to tailor the tour to those details.
OFF-CAMPUS INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE: I got the Ondrasik-Groce fellowship to go to Japan this past summer. It. Was. Amazing.
MOST UNUSUAL THING I DID AT WHITTIER COLLEGE: Took part in a video about the great things about being a residential student at Whittier. At one point I talked about the CI and how the french fries are top notch. I am now “that French fry guy.”
CHILDHOOD AMBITION: Back in Pennsylvania, garbage men ride on the back of the truck and manually dump the trash in the back. As a kid, all I wanted to do was ride on the back of that truck.
ULTIMATE CAREER GOAL: Voice act in an anime. Even if it’s one line.
