Hello! My name is Lilly (she/her), I'm a rising senior from Utah, and I’m majoring in Earth and Environmental Science. Outside of being a Peer Advisor / Technology Specialist, I am involved in a variety of different organizations on campus. I am currently a Captain of Wesleyan's Co-ed and women’s Club Water Polo teams. Prior to coming to Wesleyan, I had never played water polo, but I have since fallen in love with both the sport and the people who play it. I also work as a student curator at Wesleyan's Joe Webb Peoples Museum of Natural History. Where I work to catalog, research, and restore specimens from Sonhofen, Germany. This last summer, I conducted independent research at Wesleyan through the CIS Summer in Research grant. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, and spending time with my friends in Middletown. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I'm looking forward to meeting you all!

Outside of academic peer advising, you can find me peer tutoring for the Individual Peer Tutoring Program. I am also a member of Wesleyan’s MSA and a Research Assistant for the Reasoning and Decision Making Lab. During my free time, you can find me walking around campus or grabbing a coffee at Pi. If you have any questions or even if you just want to talk, feel free to reach out! I look forward to getting to know you all!

Hi! My name is Cornelia, and I am a rising senior. I am from New York, NY, and I am majoring in Economics and minoring in Data Analysis. Beyond my major, I have loved taking classes in History and Classical Studies, and I have loved the opportunity to explore all my academic interests through Wesleyan’s open curriculum. I am very familiar with the difficulties of balancing academics and athletics as a former student athlete, and I would love to help you manage and succeed in that experience at Wes. I also work as a Technician at Wesleyan’s Instructional Media Services (IMS), and do Data Analysis research for Wesleyan’s Delta Lab. If you are interested in in joining clubs, I am a co-head of Wesleyan Women in Finance, and involved in Wesleyan Investment Group. In my free time, I love to cook, read, hang out with my cats, and go for runs. Last semester I studied abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark, and I would be more than happy to offer guidance and advice on this decision.

Hey everyone, I'm Avanthi (she/they)! I'm from Hastings-on-Hudson, NY, where I live with my parents, my two sisters, and my dog Hiro. I'm a rising senior here at Wes, majoring in History and minoring in both East Asian Studies and Environmental Studies. I have taken so many wonderful classes in these departments. I am particularly passionate about the History major and language learning at Wesleyan. I took Mandarin my first two years, and did a summer language program in Taiwan last summer, and I would love to chat about it! Before coming to Wes, I took a gap year and spent a year volunteering as an Americorps Member at City Year Philadelphia, tutoring and mentoring fifth grade students. On campus, I work as a Sexual Violence Prevention Intern at Weswell, the Office for Health Education, supporting students in navigating university resources regarding sexual misconduct and intimate violence. Over the years I have participated in some student clubs, including the SHADES theater collective, Asian American Student Working Group, Shakti, and Kpop Dance Crew! In my free time, I love collaging, going on walks around campus, creative writing, and watching Bollywood movies with friends and family!

Hi everybody! My name is Adam Cyzner (he/him), and I am a senior at Wesleyan. I’m from Charlotte, North Carolina, and I am double majoring in film and psychology. Outside of advising and academics, I am the Co-Director for Collective Motion, a dance group for all levels. I have danced since middle school in nearly all styles, but my choreography tends to be a fusion of contemporary and jazz. Off campus, I have worked as a Literary Manager Assistant at Corvisiero Literary Agency, representing writers in both book publishing and film, and I have interned with Creative Artists Agency in their Motion Picture Literary department. I am also a certified Registered Behavior Technician, meaning I have a certification in Applied Behavior Analysis, a best practice for teaching functional life and academic skills to children on the autism spectrum. I love watching horror movies and TV shows, especially anything directed by Mike Flanagan! I’m an avid reader, and I particularly enjoy Queer stories like We Are the Ants and literary mysteries in the vein of Miracle Creek. I love meeting with students, so please feel free to email me if you have any questions about registration, academics, finding internships, or general student life at Wes!

Hi! My name is Sophia Greisner and I am a rising senior from Hingham, MA. I am a Neuroscience and Behavior and Science in Society double major. I love studying the social determinants of health and how community approaches to healthcare can mitigate negative health outcomes. After Wesleyan, my plan is to attend medical school, so if anyone has any question on some of the core medical school required courses (i.e. Intro Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, etc) I would love to share my experiences with you and chat about them! I know how difficult balancing all the required classes for pre-medicine and all the other classes you want to take can be. This summer, I am working at a diabetes management company that uses virtual platforms to bring individuals with Diabetes together online and provide them health management tools. I would love to become an emergency medicine physician and when I come back to Wes I plan on volunteering with a local volunteer EMT force. I love that emergency medicine is a very community focused style of medicine and I look forward to connecting with a local community and addressing their health needs. I also work in the Cohan lab where we are researching the use of bacteria as bioremediation agents in agricultural plots. Besides my courses and laboratory work, I play on the Women‘s Club soccer team and am one of the senior captains. I also work in the athletic training room in Freeman as a Sports Medicine Assistant. In my free time, I love to get chai lattes from Perk on Main, watch a good scary movie, or play spikeball!

As a peer advisor, I am here to help you navigate Wesleyan and be a resource for you to talk to about any of your concerns! I am always free to chat and there is nothing too small to talk about! As a student at Wes you have a team of people looking out for you and ready to answer any of your questions! I am looking forward to meeting you!!

Hi everyone! My name is Alex Mussomeli (he/him), and I am a rising sophomore here at Wesleyan from Westport, CT. Although I haven’t officially declared my major yet, I am a prospective mathematics and computer science double major. I have taken a fair share of the introductory math and computer science courses. I have also done this while going through the process of requesting accommodations for such courses. So please reach out if you have any questions about either of those. I also enjoy taking classes unrelated to my discipline too. Recently, I have explored a bit of psychology and have been captivated by philosophy. In my free time, I enjoy trying new foods, reading, and different languages such as Japanese and Italian, which I plan to study through classes in the future. Outside of that and my role as an academic peer advisor, I am involved in Monkey Business, a campus improv group, WesPhoto, a photography club as one of the assistant art directors, and the Linguistics Club, of which I am president. I love discussing my interests and meeting new people in general, so don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions!

Hi everyone! My name is Miko (she/her) and I am a Biology BA/MA student. During undergrad, I majored in Molecular Biology & Biochemistry with a minor in Global Engagement. I’m from Japan and the U.S., but I grew up in seven different countries from Cyprus, Egypt, to Kazakhstan. On campus, I have been involved in various community-based programs in STEM such as Wesleyan Mathematics and Science Scholars (WesMaSS) and Wesleyan Women in Science (WesWIS) as a steering committee member, where we organize and coordinate events such as faculty lunches, lab tours, career information sessions, and various social events. I am also a member of the Mitchel Lab in the Biology Department where I study how cells proliferate, migrate, and behave using cell and molecular biology techniques, as well as approaches utilizing principles of engineering. I have been a teaching assistant and a peer tutor for various STEM courses such as General Chemistry, Principles of Biology, and Biochemistry. As a first-generation American and college student, I can relate to the struggles and fear that come with moving to a new country and into a rigorous academic environment like at Wesleyan. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or simply to chat! I look forward to meeting you all in the fall!

Hi everyone! My name is Daniel Tung (he/him) and I’m from Brooklyn, NY. I’m a rising junior and a Molecular Biology and Biochemistry and Science and Technology Studies double major on the pre-med track with a Chemistry minor. While I have taken many of the traditional pre- med course requirements like intro biology, chemistry, and organic chemistry, I also enjoy taking non-STEM classes. I am especially interested in exploring the intersections of medicine and the humanities, something which the open curriculum is very useful for. Aside from being an Academic Peer Advisor, I am a member of the Wesleyan Ethics Bowl. I also volunteer with the Major Groove’s science outreach at Traverse Square and will sing in the Wesleyan Concert Choir next semester. This summer, I plan on volunteering and interning at Memorial Sloan Kettering in the radiology department, where I have worked for the past couple summers. When I have a free moment, I like to hike, take care of my garden, and people watch around campus. Feel free to reach out with any questions about campus life or academics!
