Carrie Filion

Post-graduation plans: Carrie will be starting a Ph.D. in astrophysics at Johns Hopkins University, hoping to someday be a professor of physics and astronomy at a liberal arts teaching college.

Carrie on her Bryn Mawr experience: "Bryn Mawr has continuously challenged and grown me into a kick-ass, well-rounded lifelong learner and scientist. I am graduating with an emboldened awareness of and confidence in my strengths, talents, and ethics, due in no small part to the phenomenal mentorship that I have found in professors here. It hasn't been an easy path, but looking back, the thing that stands out the most are the relationships that I have formed that helped me through."

Major: Physics

Minor: Math

Key Bryn Mawr experiences:

  • Independent research; through researching she found her passion and voice within science
  • Working as the Disability & Access Services Student Coordinator
  • TA-ing for the physics department
  • Traditions; Carrie feels May Day is the best day of the year!

Hometown: West Chester, Pennsylvania.
