Personal Statement:
Growing up as a faculty child on the campus of St. George's School, a co-educational boarding school located on the picturesque coast of Rhode Island and within view of Salve Regina's beautiful campus, I've come to understand that residing within an educational community has profoundly influenced the person I've become.

This process is a pivotal step toward crafting your future, and I encourage you to embrace it with open arms.
