What is your favorite college memory?
I’ll share something from academics and athletics. A favorite memory of mine as a student-athlete on the women’s ice hockey team was playing Worcester State at the DCU center as well as all of the playoff hockey over the years. This year we had our most wins in program history. In academics, presenting my senior thesis before my faculty and fellow students last fall was another great memory from my time at Anna Maria.
What’s your biggest post-grad goal and how will your AMC education help you achieve it?
My biggest goal following graduation is to earn a master’s or doctorate degree in physical therapy. While this is a competitive and rigorous program, my time here as a health science student has provided me with the knowledge and tools to achieve this. Various courses such as anatomy & physiology, neuropsychology, and genetics have fuelled my interest in the sciences and challenged me academically. I have also had the opportunity to shadow physical therapists in the community which has allowed me to better understand the profession and gain experience in the field.
What was your go-to study spot?
My favorite spot to study would be NU kitchen in Worcester. This is typically where I would go to work on my senior thesis. Another great spot is a study room in St. Anne’s where I usually go to study with friends to prepare for an exam.
Who has been your favorite professor?
Every health science faculty member has had such a great influence on my academic experience that I can’t pick one favorite. Dr Marden, Dr. Gow, Dr. Griffon, and Dr. P are a few professors who have really helped me through the last four years. I am so grateful for their guidance and support.
