What made you decide to become a volunteer?: After my kids got a little older, I found I had more time to volunteer. I felt the need to reconnect with Tufts.

What is your favorite part of volunteering with Tufts?: The best part of Tufts and volunteering are the people. My closest friends are from my days as an undergraduate at Tufts.

What is one piece of advice you’d give to a new Tufts grad?: Explore the world, try things you have never tried. When you're young it's important because you never know what will turn out to be your passions. Do not be afraid to take risks.

What artist do you have on repeat?: I have many! My daughter recently turned me on to Laufey. So, she's on repeat now.

What was your go to spot as a Tufts student?: MacPhie Pub...it was what today would be Dewick cafeteria. But, at the time, after lunch especially on Fridays, friends would hang out there.

Uphill or downhill?: Downhill...it's where I lived Freshman and Sophomore years, and the campus center is there.
