Hello my name is Walker Brown-Adams (she/her). I am a born and raised New Yorker and transfer student at Baruch from Skidmore College, although I have not been enrolled in college for about 3 years now. I have always had an unusual academic path and it has led me to be able to pursue a number of different experiences. I worked for the Museum of Natural History for a year, went to an acting conservatory, lead the marketing team at a startup, and worked as an event host.

The above picture is one I took of my friends at a picnic I organized as a test event for the company I was in the midst of launching pre-pandemic. I really love this photo for many reasons, firstly it includes a group of people I cherish deeply, time with friends and socializing in general is something that brings me deep joy. Secondly, we held the picnic in the Great Lawn, a place that I have been going to since I was a baby. I love feeling away from the city while still enjoying the buzz of energy that permeates manhattan. Third, we are all playing a game in this photo, and I am a massive game nerd. Since March my friends and I have used a weekly Dungeons and Dragons meeting to stay in contact. Finally, I just really miss these kinds of gatherings and I cannot wait to be able to get back to hosting them.

I’ll leave you with some fun facts: I have a pet snake named Draco, I am related to two presidents, and I love to ski.
