Well hello there! I'm Chelsea-Starr (it's my first name inspired by the soccer/football team and a celebrity) and I'm a Senior Fellow in the Office of Admissions. I'm from the suburbs of Charlotte and am a proud first-generation American with familial ties to Jamaica. I'm a government major and psychology minor and spend my free time dancing with dance team, hanging out in my sorority, and reading romance novels. Can't wait to share my Dartmouth experiences with you!
Hi all! Welcome to my blog! I'm Chelsea-Starr, a '23 and a Senior Admissions Fellow in the Office of Admissions. I call the suburbs of Charlotte, NC home but my family is originally from Jamaica. As a first generation American, figuring out the college process was difficult and choosing the "right" place felt like a life or death decision. Acknowledging how challenging the process was for me is what motivated me to work with the Office of Admissions, originally as a tour guide where I showed visitors Dartmouth's campus and now as a Fellow where I can be a resource in the college search process for curious high schoolers, parents, and counselors.
This blog will be a bit different than the work I normally do. Here, you will find an informal delivery of my Dartmouth experiences. For me, this is a chance to reflect on the last 3 years of my Dartmouth experience, draw some conclusions on what the past has meant to me, and document the new adventures I'll have this year. For you, I hope this blog can be a peak behind the curtain, a real view of one Dartmouth student's life on campus. I truly hope that my posts can help during the college search process or, at the very least, can exemplify the passion and love I have for the Woods.
