Where are you going? To Pratt for M.arch

What are three things you learned at Columbia and would like to share with the Class of 2030?

Be patient and honest with yourself! If you are putting yourself coursewise, physically or mentally through any sort of stress your body will feel it. You come first, always! 

Take classes that interest you! It’s easier to do better in a difficult class you love than an easy A that makes you bored out of your mind.

Criticism is a hard reality, but you can’t let it spoil the things you love. If you are beginning to resent work that you used to love, it’s time to take a step back and remind yourself why you chose it in the first place instead of trying to convince yourself that the resentment will somehow naturally work itself out of your system.

“Back in my day…” JJ’s was 24/7!

What was your favorite class at Columbia? Fiction Writing with Sarah Wang. Life-changing!

Whom would you like to thank? My mother and my friends Lisa Faulkner and Emma Burris, who all gave me space to make mistakes and grow into myself

One thing to do before graduating? 30 under 30! 

Any regrets? Not buying a physical planner for my first two years here! They are the best!
