10 years as a camper

2nd year on staff

I am about to graduate from Princeton University with a degree in civil engineering (and minors in architecture and Spanish)! Outside of school, I work as a student manager for Princeton Football, and traveled with the team for the past four years. I have been coming to camp since I was 8 years old, and I am so excited to be back in the Greystone bubble after a few years away!

“But Jesus immediately said to them “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 14:27

A few things I love: Dogs, sitcom tv shows, long phone calls with friends, and spending time in nature

Something you wouldn’t guess about me: I love taking long road trips, and have been to 31 states!

The one thing that makes any day better: Sour patch kids

Best camp tradition? Council fire

Favorite Evening Program? Any of the obstacle course style EP’s (like protect your counselor, and even the famous Loch Edith!!)

The camp food I can’t wait to eat is… Greystone bread and honey… I have been thinking about it for two years!

Item that I MUST bring to Camp with me: Lots of sunscreen!

At camp, I’ll be the one… Who always has everything you need in my bag

Come find me if… You want to talk about something nerdy

I wanted to work at Greystone because… My last summer on staff was such an incredible experience!

The best thing about camp will be… reconnecting with old friends, and meeting amazing new people!
