Involvement: Theater, Dance, Choir Grapes, Drama Club, Rock Band, EWAC,  and Dance Club

“I came to Walker’s my sophomore year coming from my hometown that is 16 hours flight distance from here. This is such a welcoming, diverse, and supportive community that allows students to explore themselves and grow. I want to show prospective families how much people can do at this school and how this place will be the second home.”

What is your favorite class and why?

Choir because music makes my whole day happy. Seeing how people gain confidence in their voice and how everyone’s voice mix together is magical.

What is a unique experience you’ve had at Walker’s that you didn’t think you’d be involved in when arriving at Walker’s?

I never thought I would perform at a barn or be in the barn so often but being in Grapes gave me the opportunity to perform literally everywhere.

My favorite part of the day is co-curriculars (dance) because it keeps me energetic and I throw all negative energy away when I dance.

My favorite part is hanging out with friends and faculty in the Cluett pit.  

What advice would you give to an incoming Walker’s student?

How do you think Walker’s has prepared you for your future?
