Why did you choose Etown?
I chose Etown because every time I visited, I was greeted with kind people and it always felt like home. I actually only applied to Etown!
What do you love most about Etown?
I love the sense of community at Etown. Everyone knows everyone, and the whole campus feels like a big family gathering all the time.
What are your plans for after graduation?
I plan to obtain my Master of Social Work (MSW) online from Simmons University. And I hope to travel!
What advice do you have for future Blue Jays?
I would tell future Blue Jays to try not to worry about plans or expectations for your time here. Try new things, be present, and enjoy every moment of it.
