Year of Graduation: 2009

Major (s): Psychology and Economics

High School and Hometown: Palo Alto High School, Palo Alto, CA

Why you chose Amherst College: I loved the small class sizes, the atmosphere of the swim team, and the open curriculum. Amherst has the benefits of a small school while still having the resources of a larger one due to the five college consortium.

Athletic Accomplishments at Amherst: Made finals in all three events at Nescacs freshman year including a 13th place in the 400 IM.

SAAC Objectives: As a member of the SACC I hope to encourage greater fan support and make the school a more friendly and accepting atmosphere for athletes.

Outside interests: Skiing, miniature golf, watching sporting events, rap music, roller coasters, and going to the beach

Sub-committee (s): Chair of publicity and fan support sub-committee.
