About
Senior, Class of 2024
Hometown: Natick, MA
Major(s): Political Science, Sociology
Hi! My name is Vanessa and I am a senior from Natick, MA double majoring in Political Science and Sociology. I am also a part of the International Scholars Program (ISP) which allows me to explore the intersection of my interest in international development and studies as well as my desire to engage in a study abroad experience. Having grown up abroad, being surrounded by individuals in my ISP cohort with similar overseas-oriented interests has been the highlight of my experience in the Commonwealth Honors College thus far. I am also on the rugby team and outside of class and practice, I love spending time with my friends, watching TV shows, and going on hikes!
What do you do for fun in your free time?
On the weekends, I love exploring the area and appreciating the beauty of Western Massachusetts. I am also on the women's rugby team and when we don't have games, I love spending time bonding with my team! There are also a wide variety of events hosted on campus. I love to see what intramural sports are holding events and even hopping in sometimes! It's also really important to find time for self care during one's free time so when all else fails, you can find me cuddled up with a cup of coffee watching an episode of New Girl!
