Where is your hometown?
Houlton, Maine in “The County”
Do you live on campus?
No, I live off-campus.
Would you live on campus if USM had sufficiant facilities?
Probably not. I lived on campus my freshman year at Bowdoin.
Did you transfer from Bowdoin to here?
No, I graduated there with a degree in Psychology and then worked for a while in the social work field until I decided to become a nurse.
What area of nursing do you wish to work in?
Labor and delivery.
In state?
Well, after all this snow maybe I’ll work somewhere else for a while.
Have you noticed any differences between The County and Portland?
Yeah, up there people are a lot more conservative and some of the stereotypes are true. Down here it seems people are more liberal. I like the city, but I’ll always love the country.
