Hello! My name is James Desmond, I’m a First-Year (2028) from Abington, Massachusetts, a small South Shore town about 45-minutes from the South-end of Boston. I went to to a private High School in Dorchester, a neighborhood in South Boston, called Boston College High School. Because of that, I spent a lot of time in Boston the past four years and still go whenever I get the chance. I’m a prospective Political Science & Economics major, but to be honest those are just placeholders while I explore the curriculum. I’m on the Men’s Ultimate Frisbee team, a member of the Scholars of Finance, and a member of both the Debate and Mock Trial teams. A fun fact about me is that my sister took me to her Senior prom when I was 6-months old, (I apparently danced with almost all the girls there, so I think I should have won Prom King at least). I do a lot, I’ve done a lot too, but I’m still learning and exploring which I think you’ll see well in my blogs to come!

If you’ve got questions, my email is jdesmond28@amherst.edu !
