Hi hi! My name is Riley, and I'm a rising junior from Central Virginia! I'm pre-law, concentrating in Psychology, with a minor in Humanistic Studies and an intended certificate in Cognitive Science. At Princeton, I'm an 'attorney' for the Mock Trial team, a writer for the Princeton Legal Journal, and a member on the women's club soccer team. I'm super excited to be your PAA because I know how hectic and crazy the transition to Princeton can be, and I want to do my best to make that transition a bit easier (and maybe kinda fun) for you all. I cannot wait to meet you soon!

What's a favorite memory from your first year at Princeton?
One of my favorite memories from my first year is going to New York City for the first time with a big group of friends!
What's a Princeton class that has shaped the way you think and why?
The entire HUM Sequence (HUM 216/217 and HUM 218/219). I had never taken any kind of philosophy, literature, or are class before, so to spend a year exploring all these different disciplines and learning how they can all inform each other was incredibly eye-opening. It showed me how it is possible to use the ancient world to inform the present one, how to combine philosophical concepts to psychology, and a new way of appreciating art.
What's your favorite place to study on campus?
My favorite place is the Chancellor Green library, or Coffee Club (Campus Club location!)
