I’m meeting a lot of people through my role as secretary of Thelmo –both students and administrators. Thelmo exists to provide a forum for student voices, opinions, and concerns. It’s given me a place to grow and work on my interpersonal skills, personal relationships, deadlines, and communication skills.

Unfortunately I didn’t start getting involved in the music department until my sophomore year, but I have had so many opportunities to work within the department since then. I joined University Chorus for a semester, I worked on the Special Productions Ensemble last semester, I’ve taken private voice lessons, and I’ve taken classes that prepared me to perform. The music department has given me the chance to do something I love.

I chose to come to St. Lawrence because the school seemed to fit me so perfectly. The second I set foot on this campus I felt comfortable and knew I could succeed here. As part of my major I hope to do an independent study my senior year to find the place where sociology and music resonate.
