I chose Lynn because of the great resources for my major and I love the softball program here! Outside of class I like laying by the pool and having dinner with friends. After graduation, I want to become a second grade teacher.

I chose Lynn because when I stepped on campus I felt at home instantly. I loved the small class sizes and I heard the professors really focused on one on one. Outside of the classroom, I like to hang out with my friends, read, do community service and do just about any creative thing you can think of. After Lynn, I hope to move to Canada and get my masters in Theatre Arts and Production. With my two degrees I hope to teach theatre arts to high school students.
