About me:

Gemma was one of last year’s Co-Chairs and is a rising senior in Leverett, the best house on campus (objectively). She is from Italy, Australia and New Zealand, but she grew up between Rome and Auckland, so she is well versed in dodging cars that are creatively interpreting road rules, as well as battling the elements on camping trips. Nobody takes the “liberal arts” as seriously as Gemma who has taken classes classes in music, literature, creative writing, philosophy, neuroscience, chemistry, economics and more. So, if you also fear decision-making and aren’t quite sure what to study, she’s the perfect person to ask. In her free time, Gemma is very involved in the arts, theatre and dance scenes, so feel free to ask her about it! She has also been involved with public service on campus and debate. Gemma is always down for a chat, a cry, or a picnic in the yard and she can’t wait to meet you all!!
