Cori Therien

I'm a 23-year-old grad student at Boston College just trying to get by like everyone else. I'm an identical twin, an elephant enthusiast, a daughter, granddaughter, and friend. I think I single-handedly keep Dunkin Donuts in business.

I've had a million jobs and none of them were similar: I've been a fast-food cashier, a barista at Panera Bread, a bartender at a Mexican restaurant, a nanny for 7 years (and counting), a camp counselor at the YMCA, a teacher's aid in a classroom of autistic children, a domestic violence hotline and shelter advocate, and an intern in an addiction treatment center. I've loved [parts] of every job I've ever had--except fast food. Be nice to those people, the job is hard.
