To destress, she enjoys running (track superstar since the 6th grade), swimming, reading, and exploring NYC for new food places. Brigid is looking to step out of her comfort zone and trying out new activities such as painting, kickboxing, hot yoga, poetry, and maybe writing. Her favorite part of NYC is finding new food places to post on Instagram, so let her know what yours is when you find one of course. Brigid suggests that you take advantage of all that NYC has to offer. “Don't scroll through the Instagram explore page when you could be out exploring yourself! What I love about living at EHS is the diverse community! You meet so many different people from different schools and internships, which you would never experience in other college dorms. As well as, everyone is super friendly and being in NYC, safety is extremely important but EHS definitely makes that one of their priorities!”
