What made you decide to transfer to St. Luke’s?
I knew I didn’t want to stay in boarding school. My parents encouraged me to apply to St. Luke’s, and even though I applied late, I got in around June. My mom said, “You’re going there,” and that was that.

How would you describe Vermont?
It’s quieter than Fairfield County, but it’s great. I love the summers, and my friends and I would go swimming or hang out in the woods.

Honestly, I was nervous. It felt uncomfortable at first because I had never been to a private day school before. But once I got to know people, it felt welcoming.

What were your first few days like?

Who helped you adjust the most?
Probably my advisor and some of the guys on the football team. They reached out and made me feel included.
