Hi everyone! My name is Mary Beatty and I am from Guilford, Connecticut. My pronouns are she/her/hers. My family includes my mom, dad, and older sister who is a junior at Tulane University. I also have three dogs named Rudy, Jack, and Ivy. I applied ED to U of R so I am so excited to be here and meet all of you! In my hometown, I spend most of my time at the local riding school as an English-style equestrian. I always thought my career would involve kids, however, teaching young riders has definitely taught me the benefits of working with adults. On top of that, I was a member of the varsity crew team as a coxswain on the boys’ team and was also the first female captain on that team. While I loved this experience, I will not be pursuing crew at U of R because I would rather not be practicing at 4 in the morning. I was also always involved in theatre and hope to continue that here! Finally, I am currently undecided and have no idea what I want to study. It is so nice to meet you all!

My dog Rudy and I!
It’s kind of exciting to be unsure about what you’ll study! Good luck as you consider your options!
