What I hope to accomplish as a Fellow: I hope to spread the word about how much I love this college to as many people as I possibly can, whether that be alumni, prospective students, or the world, even! Bellisario has provided me with so many career-building, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that I feel so honored that I am able to pay it forward. Never did I ever think that going into my junior year, I'd land an internship at an agency in The Empire State Building or get to speak with alumni who have my dream career, and that's all because of Bellisario. I am so excited to be a Fellow, and I can't wait to share with everyone how much I love this college!
