Meet the Orientation Interns

Natasha Phillips

Hello! My name is Natasha Phillips and I’m a rising sophomore from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I am a tentative economics major with a certificate in international relations. I love to sing, dance, and generally be merry. At Wes, I work at the library and tutor local high school students. I’m also involved with Habitat for Humanity and IMPACT Humanity. I can’t wait to see all of you in the fall, hopefully enjoying Wes as much as I do!

 

Brendan O'Donnell

Hey first year students and transfers! My name is Brendan O’Donnell and I’m a rising sophomore from Simsbury, Connecticut. I’m in the College of Social Studies, an interdisciplinary major combining history, philosophy, government, and economics that begins in the fall of sophomore year. I’m also a potential music major; I play trumpet, piano, ukulele, and sing. I’ve played in the Wesleyan University Orchestra for two semesters and have taken several classes in South Indian music. Besides being an orientation intern, I also work at the Center for the Arts as an usher and at the Center for Film Studies as a house manager and projectionist. I also write for the Ampersand, Wesleyan’s humor publication, and for Wesleying, an unofficial blog focusing on student life. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, and enjoy your summer! I look forward to meeting all of you in person this fall.

 

Afi Tettey-Fio

Good morning, afternoon, or night.  You will often not know what time it is when you get here either. My name is Afi Tettey-Fio and I am a rising junior who is interested in writing, swimming, psychology, and linearity.  I enjoy attempting to speak German, reading, cooking, traveling, and figuring out what to do with my hair.  I do not enjoy sitting for long periods of time, the way phones feel against my face after listening to others talk for long periods of time, second trips (to the store or to and from the car with hands full of grocery bags, for example), and needlessly long lists : )

I look forward to meeting all of you in the Fall!  

 

Lucas Mantilla

 

Hey guys! My name is Lucas, and I’m a rising Junior from Ecuador (se habla Español). I love to ride my bike (which is MIA at the moment but I WILL FIND HER) around campus, chill on the hill (you guys’ll join me soon enough), explore the local cuisine (*holds Thai Gardens flag*), travel around (the world) and write awkward pieces of fiction in forests (yes). Also, I would spelunk if we had caves.

Anyhow, I’m really excited that you guys are coming and would love to answer any of your questions. If you have any comments / concerns / random anecdotes about your surfing experiences in Sri Lanka, shoot me an email. I'll reply as soon as I emerge from my den.

See you in the fall!
