Ellie Dougherty is a freshman this year at Mercy. In addition to focusing on academics, she has already secured a spot on the varsity volleyball team, where her sister, Molly Rose ‘07 is the coach. In this interview I asked her a few questions about her time at Mercy so far.

Q: “How did you decide to come to Mercy?”
A: “My sisters have gone here so it was just something I’ve known since I was little.”

Q: “What is your favorite thing about Mercy so far?”
A: “The teachers are really funny…and there are a lot of nice girls.”

Q: “Which activities have you joined or plan on joining?”
A: “Volleyball. I’m considering basketball. And baking club, I’ve thought about that.”

Q: “How does it feel to have your sister coaching you in volleyball?”
A: “It’s not that weird actually. She doesn’t really treat me like I’m her sister… it’s just like I’m one of the other people.”

Q: “What are you most excited for at Mercy?”
A: “Just meeting new people and making friends.”
