About me:

Hi everyone! I’m Lola a freshman at Harvard University from Australia, where “winter” is more of a suggestion than a season. I’m still emotionally recovering from my first Cambridge February, but in the meantime I’ve traded the beach for the Charles and I’m loving every minute of it!

I’m also really interested in international relations and foreign policy hoping to study Government and Economics. As fun as my studies sound, I’ll always take pretty much any excuse to meet new people or go on a spontaneous Boston adventure.

FIP was a huge part of how I figured out life here. It made Harvard feel a lot less intimidating and a lot more like home. I found there is something comforting being apart of a group where everyone is outside their comfort zone in one way or another. I’m so excited to be a leader this year and help you settle in, find your people and make your first few days here as fun, chaotic (in a good way), and memorable as mine were.
