Fun Fact: I collect small notebooks from every place I visit. I almost never write in them, but they each hold a memory.

Why did you join LAH?: I joined LAH because I wanted a small, thoughtful learning community within such a large university. I knew I wanted to shape a deeper liberal arts education for myself, and LAH offered the kind of environment where discussion, curiosity, and close mentorship actually matter.

What’s your favorite part of being in LAH?: I love the courses LAH offers and how they open doors into different disciplines. Even classes outside my major introduce new ways of thinking, and that mix of perspectives makes my learning feel more layered and expansive.
