Why I decided to study the humanities:
It was an opportunity at Princeton that I could not miss, and one of the best decisions I have made. Religion, in particular, has been a major that has allowed me to explore my interests in an extremely interdisciplinary way.
What I have gained from the humanities:
In my focus on medicine, illness, and disability, the humanities has provided me with a more nuanced way of approaching difficult situations that so many people experience in their daily lives.
Independent work:
My independent work has involved family experience in pediatric hospitals and with child illness or disability, as influenced by religious or spiritual beliefs and communities.
HUM Sequence fall break trip:
I went to Rome in the fall of 2019. My project investigated the history of medicine through Tiber Island’s temple to Aeschylus and modern-day hospital.
