WRITING
Since I was young, I've been passionate about writing. My education and career have given me plenty of opportunities to write in different styles and formats (most notably for social media), and I'm always looking for ways to expand my copywriting skills.
The following samples showcase my time creating social copy for numerous content needs and campaigns at Dartmouth College.

HOP Reopening at Dartmouth College
The @HopkinsCenter reopened its doors this month, bringing our community together to explore new and renovated performance venues, creative labs, and social spaces. The expanded center makes the arts more accessible and alive on campus.
Welcome to a new era of the arts at Dartmouth.
This month, students, alumni, faculty, staff, and world-renowned artists came together to celebrate the reopening of the @Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth and the dedication of the new Daryl and Steven Roth Wing—a 15,000-square-foot expansion designed to take the arts at Dartmouth through the 21st century.
The new performance spaces, such as the Morris Recital Hall, the Mindy Kaling ’01 Theater Lab, and the Hodgson Family Dance Studio, and revitalized community spaces––including the Top of the Hop––were showcased throughout the weekend. The Hop now stands as the gateway to our reimagined Arts District, where students, faculty, and artists from around the world will learn, create, and lead together.
The @Hopkins Center for the Arts has been Dartmouth’s creative heart for over 60 years. Now, with its reopening and dedication of the new Daryl and Steven Roth Wing, that heart is stronger, more accessible, and more alive than ever before.
This month, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and artists came together for performances, workshops, and conversations about how the arts inspire innovation and leadership. Our grand reopening highlighted the Hop’s renovations and expansions, including state-of-the-art rehearsal rooms, performance venues, and gathering spaces that will bring people together in new and exciting ways.

50 Years of Coeducation at Dartmouth
When they arrived on a campus that wasn’t made for them, the women of the Class of ’76 built those spaces for themselves. Fifty years later, they’re still supporting female students and helping Dartmouth to continue creating a place for everyone.
When the women of the Class of ’76 arrived as Dartmouth’s first fully matriculated female students, they entered a campus that wasn't quite ready for them. So they made it ready.
They started clubs. They started athletic teams that didn’t exist yet. They faced resentment along the way and decided to keep going.
“We had morphed into a pretty confident class of women by our senior year,” said Martha Johnson Beattie ’76, “coming out of it with the feeling that this place was as much ours as it had ever been for any man.”
Fifty years later, their continued leadership and ability to see what’s missing and find opportunities to make something out of it still shapes how Dartmouth creates its community for students now and into the future.
The first year of co-education at Dartmouth started with a difficult truth: the campus didn’t have dedicated spaces for women.
The women of the Class of ’76 didn't wait for those clubs, teams, and spaces to be made for them—they built them. And their work didn’t stop at graduation; today, these women continue to lead, advocate for, and make sure that women at Dartmouth continue to have their voices heard.
Dartmouth NEXT in Action Student Feature
Helah Snelling ’25 struggled in her first biology class but got the help she needed. Now she’s a Teaching Science Fellow supported by Dartmouth NEXT, and helps others in tough STEM courses––reminding them that they don't need perfect grades to succeed.

When @Helah Snelling ’25 took her first biology class at Dartmouth, she felt overwhelmed. But a Teaching Science Fellow offered guidance, and she found her footing.
Now a TSF herself, she helps other students navigate STEM—reminding them that it’s OK to be confused, and that you don’t need perfect grades to pursue a career in medicine or science.
With support from the Dartmouth NEXT initiative, she’s helping students like her reach their full academic potential.
Biological Sciences Research Feature
Dartmouth and @univofstandrews coined a new term for an overlooked ape behavior they call ‘scrumping’. It refers to eating ripe fruit off the forest floor—and it could be how we evolved the ability to handle alcohol so well.
Do you enjoy a glass of wine with dinner? You may be able to thank our distant ancestors.
A new @American Institute of Biological Sciences paper led by @Nate Dominy and @univofstandrews’s Cat Hobaiter coins the word 'scrumping' for an overlooked ape behavior—eating fermented fruit off the forest floor. Recent research suggests this behavior may have triggered genetic mutations that led to humans evolving to handle alcohol so well, but it's never been studied directly.
The study authors aim to change that by first giving the behavior a name. After all, scrumping by no name at all just looks like eating fruit.
Humans may have evolved to handle alcohol because our ape ancestors were sipping nature’s version of it.
A new paper from Dartmouth and @Universtiy of St. Andrews researchers dubs apes' fondness for eating ripe fruit off the forest floor as “scrumping.” This overlooked behavior may have triggered a genetic tweak in our common ancestor with African apes that explains a unique current human trait: our ability to metabolize alcohol.

Jane Austen's 250th Birthday Student Exhibit
“I don’t know that I could have done this anywhere else.” First-year seminar students curated an exhibit marking Jane Austen’s 250 birthday that explores four of her major novels. It will run in Baker Library April 7-July 11.
It’s a “truth universally acknowledged” that Jane Austen has written some of the world’s most incisive stories. A group of first-year students is helping us celebrate that.
A new exhibit in Baker-Berry Library explores four major Austen novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Persuasion. On display are first editions of Austen’s books and supplementary materials related to their time period.
All were hand-picked by Professor Carolyn Dever’s first-year seminar students. The hands-on curation and presentation are “a very Dartmouth moment” and allowed our students to experience Austen’s writing on a deeper, more personal level.
For Love or Money? Jane Austen 250 will run April 7 through July 11. Dever’s students will also give short talks on April 17: [link]
Step into the world of Jane Austen through the eyes of our first-year students.
In celebration of Jane Austen’s 250th birthday, Professor Carolyn Dever’s winter seminar students worked in groups to create interactive presentations on four of Austen’s major novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Persuasion.
The students learned a variety of curation skills to bring together materials and information that could engage all visitors. Each presentation includes first editions of Austen’s novels, additional content from the respective time period, and informative labels.
The exhibit opens in Baker-Berry Library on April 7 and will run through July 11, with short talks given by the seminar students on April 17.
