Interests

I love to climb, play guitar (although I'm not very good), and get outside in any sense. I've really enjoyed exploring Bellingham's beaches! I also like making art, whether it's paining, jewelry making, or other crafts.

What I like most about Bellingham

I have been so fascinated by the natural world around Bellingham. I love going to the beaches, mountains, and forests, as well as just exploring the shops in downtown and Fairhaven. The natural beauty of this area and of the PNW continues to amaze me every day, and I can’t wait to explore it more in the coming years.

My advice for incoming or prospective students

First, it’s important to remember that college is a huge change and it’s okay to be stressed or nervous. When choosing a college, go with your gut and choose a school that feels best to you. Once you’re at college, put yourself out there and don’t be afraid to try new things. College is an incredible opportunity to try a lot things, whether that’s a new academic venture, sport, or hobby. Exploring a wide variety of activities can help you meet new people and expand your horizons, and you might discover something you love!
