UMass Amherst Highlights

As an undergraduate student at UMass, I took full advantage of the opportunities that were available to me. A few of the highlights of my time as an undergrad at UMass:

  • Playing an active role with student organizations like The Daily Collegian, WMUA, and the Student Alumni Association, to name a few

  • Building my leadership skills through service with Psi Chi (Psychology Honors Society), Student Government Association, and the University Democrats

  • Participating in a summer internship in Washington, D.C. through The Washington Center for Internships & Academic Seminars

  • Working as a Peer Educator for the Campus Recycling Program

  • Going to football games (and maybe being more excited about the Marching Band than the football!)

  • Cramming for Art History exams with Ewan

  • Getting graduation credits to improve my tennis game

  • Making friends at The Hillel House

  • Taking advantage of resources at the Student Union, like The Crafts Center

  • Studying abroad in Siena, Italy

  • Having wonderful mentors and advisors, like my Senior Honors Thesis Advisor, social psychologist Professor Linda Isbell PhD

  • Taking courses within the Five College Consortium

  • Enjoying Amherst and Northampton

  • And much more!

The Power of the UMass Amherst Alumni Network

As a steering committee member of the Boston Area Alumni Committee, I collaborated with fellow alums to organize social and networking events. I had the pleasure of building relationships and connecting with mentors.

I’m proud to have coached and mentored many UMass alumni from various disciplines and industries. I have served as a workshop facilitator for the Annual Career Retreat hosted by the Masters in Sustainability Science Program (MS3) and the College of Natural Sciences (CNS).
