When people ask me where I’m from, I usually shrug and say, “Oh, San Francisco.” Which is not a lie, but it’s kind of a stretch. My family is originally from California, but I spent all eighteen of my pre-college years in Africa – Namibia, Tanzania, and finally Kenya. Being at Harvard has been a huge growing experience, and despite the brutal Cambridge winters, it’s been a joyful time. I’m an English concentrator, and I hope to study Cultural Anthropology after grad. To test those waters, I’m partnering with a Radcliffe Fellow in her research on South Africa this year. Some of my happier pastimes include riding my longboard through Cambridge, playing field hockey with the club team, and going to music shows in Boston. And as a senior, I’m trying to savor every moment I get to spend with my friends here before graduation!
