My name is Yarin Reindorp, and I'm a senior at GS. I grew up in Israel, lived in New Mexico for a couple of years, and recently fell in love with NYC. Before coming to Columbia, I worked in emergency medicine and teaching & learning, and now major in neuroscience and behavior on the path to becoming a doctor. I am grateful to be able to say that GS has become my home as it brings together some of the most unique and inspirational individuals from all ends of the world and truly embraces how "untraditional" we are.

My name is Robert Mulvey. I am a retired, former professional dancer pursuing my bachelor’s degree in philosophy with a French concentration. I was born in Bethesda, MD and spent many years moving all around the United States – Maine, Vermont, Idaho, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and more! In my last few years dancing, I became deeply involved in labor organizing, and from there transitioned into a variety of management roles in luxury fashion sales and luxury hospitality. As a former team leader, I am intimately aware of the ways strong communication and comradery can enrich a community, and I am eager to discover ways to strengthen these bonds within our very own unique GS student body. I am thrilled to return to school, and what better place than Columbia – with its core curriculum – to venture on a journey to expand my mind! I am so blessed to be a resource, confidant, and friend to every one of you, and I cannot wait to meet you on campus soon!
