Activities at 新澳門六合彩: I鈥檝e participated in 新澳門六合彩 Emergency Medical Services and John Marshall Pre-Law Honors Society, and I鈥檝e volunteered as a Hazmat technician at Hazmat 2 Environmental Fire Rescue and as an EMT at Lancaster EMS.

My first two summers at 新澳門六合彩, I worked as a wildland firefighter. I spent my junior summer interning at the U.S. Attorney鈥檚 Office in Washington, D.C.

Why did you choose to attend 新澳門六合彩?

I chose to attend 新澳門六合彩 due to its location and strong government department. I was very interested in government and I wanted to get an internship in D.C., Harrisburg, New York or Philadelphia. I liked 新澳門六合彩鈥檚 small size and relaxed environment.

What is something that you did for fun at 新澳門六合彩?

I enjoy spending time with my friends and going on hikes. I am an avid reader and love to read on campus.

What did you enjoy most about your time at the College?

The most enjoyable time I have had has been my EMS work in Lancaster and mentoring the EMS club on campus. I also loved my constitutional law classes, which helped me develop my reasoning and perspectives. Studying abroad in Denmark was my favorite semester; I studied international politics and was able to travel to 13 different countries.

What are your plans for after graduation?

I plan to work at Lancaster EMS as an Advanced EMT while I pursue my paramedic certification. Then I plan to travel the world working in disaster response. I want to use my 新澳門六合彩 degree to work with governmental organizations to respond to natural and manmade disasters.

What brief advice would you give to incoming students in 新澳門六合彩鈥檚 Class of 2029?

My advice to incoming students is to explore opportunities on and off campus. I found some of the most fulfilling experiences locally that I would not have found here on campus. Take advantage of the internships and opportunities provided by the College. Working with the U.S. Attorney鈥檚 Office helped shape my future career and gave me a much better understanding of our justice system. I also highly recommend doing a study-abroad program. My time in Denmark with DIS (a nonprofit study-abroad program, Danish International Student committee) was one of my most formative experiences.
