THE BASICS:
What do you do at Smith?
I'm the assistant director for
WFI, responsible
for programming and outreach to students, alumnae and the
Pioneer Valley. I am also an Ada Comstock scholar graduating
in 2008! I am majoring in Afro-American Studies and minoring
in Ethics.
How many years have you
been at the college?
February makes 7 years.
What is your busy season?
There is a bit of slow down in
the summer
because we have less foot traffic, but the academic year is
full of activity.
NOW THE FUN STUFF:
Who gets the most face
time with you?
My son and nephew...though at
times I'm sure my son wishes they had less.
What are you reading
now?
Nothing, the semester just ended
and I welcome
the break.
What is your favorite
movie?
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest.
If you suddenly had two
hours of free time, what would you do?
Winter: quilt or knit. Summer:
go for a swim in my favorite tiny little watering hole in
Hatfield.
What is your favorite
wall hanging at home?
The very first quilt I ever made...though
I can't help but see each and every mistake in it.
Do you vote?
Not in all the elections. I should...I
know I know...
If you could live during
any period in time and in any place, when and where?
I can't say I'd like to live
in any other time, but I would have loved to see my grandmother
during her prime dancing years.
Who does the work around
your abode?
Me, me, and oh...me, unless of
course my 14-year-old son is on punishment.
Is there any time in
your life you wish you could do over?
No, I prefer to make the most
of today and hope for a better tomorrow.
What did you do before
you came to Smith?
I taught legal secretaries in
New York City, who were used to the keyboard-driven WordPerfect
operating system, how to manuever in Windows and how to use
Word. Best tip: teach someone how to play solitaire on the
computer and they get the hang of single- and double-clicking
in no time!
What single piece of
advice would you give to graduating Smithies?
Reinvent your life as many times
as it takes for you to be fulfilled. What you do immediately
after graduation doesn't have to be the only path you take...unless
you want it to be.
