Puns & Ponderences

If you’re reading this bio, we already have something in common because I, too, enjoyed these blogs as I navigated the college process, becoming increasingly enthusiastic about this school and the people who make it what it is. Now, join me as I attempt to shed some light on college life and Tufts through my experiences, with the hopes that you will be able to better envision your own.

For some context: like a good Coloradan, I love skiing, hiking, and sunshine almost as much as a delicious acai bowl. My other interests include using puns excessively, playing tennis and volleyball recreationally, and talking about Japan obsessively. As a student in the Class of 2019, I look forward to studying civil engineering alongside the humanities, getting to know Boston, and finding new interests over the next four years!
