My favorite spots around SU: There are so many great small coffee shops in Winchester, and my favorite so far is Hopscotch Coffee & Records. I love walking in Old Town Winchester and having a delicious meal at Violino where the chef sometimes serenades his customers! I love the quirky and welcoming atmospheres of Winchester and Shenandoah. I’m glad my husband and I chose to move! 

What makes SU special to me: It feels like home. You may think that’s corny to say, but I chose my undergraduate and graduate schools based on how I felt when I visited campus. As a graduate student at Shenandoah, you’ll feel like a valued member of the community, and you’ll forge meaningful relationships with your professors and your peers. 

My hobbies: In my free time, you’ll probably find me curled up with a book, watching hockey, or spending time with my family.
