If you could come back and take one class at Wellesley what would it be? Having said this, the parts of Wellesley that made the biggest difference were the connections I made, both with other students and professors.

Wellesley is the beginning of the journey, not the culmination of it.

It seems so strange to be old enough to have a career! This was a defining year in many respects, as the program allowed me to think broadly and boldly about the humanities, while also thriving in a collaborative and genial college environment.

It helped me appreciate that one can think and read and write broadly outside of the education system.

I work in publishing, at a literary agency in New York.

What is a typical work day or work week like for you? Of course everyone grasps the intensity and rigor of the academic programs, and they were spectacular and crucial to my intellectual formation.

Without that underpinning I would not have been able to go to Cambridge, which led me to where I am now.

What do you wish you had known as a student? No—wait: the Economics course ECON 223? Either Art History Methods, or a creative writing course.

What piece of advice would you offer students looking to get into your area of interest and expertise? Cambridge—both the city and the University—has a mysticism and gravity to it that the United States just cannot quite replicate; something about the age and the tradition of the place that lends weight to its intractable tradition.

What other careers did you consider as a student? How has Wellesley contributed to your career? After graduating from Wellesley in 2011, I worked at the Davis Museum, where I worked on several exhibitions and catalogues.

Some people do—most people say they do, but are too terrified of the unknown to admit it.
