History

POST-CARLETON GOAL(S)…

Gainful employment (but I will settle for grad school)

I CHOSE TO COME TO CARLETON BECAUSE…
I really liked the collaborative atmosphere and how no one takes themselves too seriously- people have a good sense of humor.


WHAT I MOST LIKE ABOUT CARLETON IS…
Izzy Macia, Katelyn Harder, and Ella Curtis-Revelle


INTERNSHIP/EXTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES DURING MY TIME AS A CARLETON STUDENT:
This winter break I had the opportunity to do an externship with Concussion Alliance. Concussion Alliance is a nonprofit organization that works to create awareness about mild traumatic brain injuries and persistent post-concussion symptoms, compile the latest concussion research, and facilitate treatments for these injuries. As an extern, I attend daily meetings, complete concussion-related curriculum, write for their newsletter, and create video content for their social media and website. This past summer I also had the opportunity to work as an SRP with Professor Susannah Ottaway in the History department, funded by the Humanities Center Student Research Fund. Working with Professor Ottaway and a group of student researchers, I got the chance to research English workhouses during the long eighteenth-century as part of a project about these workhouses before the New Poor Law was implemented (1834). As part of our work, we also did a research trip to London to gather evidence at the archives there and visit some of the workhouse sites!

HOBBIES:
Painting, reading, watching too many movies and tv shows, hanging with my two pugs, and crying while listening to Phoebe Bridgers


PERSON(S) WHO HAD THE MOST INFLUENCE ON MY ATHLETIC CAREER:
Coach Nikolai, who taught me how to serve a volleyball over the net.
 

HISTORICAL FIGURE(S) I’D MOST LIKE TO MEET:
La Malinche (Malintzin)


MY FAVORITE…

ATHLETE(S): My little sister, Charlotte (she's a swimmer)

BOOK(S): The Secret History by Donna Tartt

FOOD(S): Shirley Temples

TV SHOW(S): I have too many but here are a few: Fleabag, Succession, Barry, The Bear, and Community

MOVIE(S): Again, I have too many: The Royal Tenenbaums (arguably the best Wes Anderson movie), Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban, The Big Lebowski, and Challengers. Honorable mentions include the Lord of the Rings trilogy (thank you Peter Jackson), Juno, and Stand By Me.
