About Me
In my freshman and sophomore year I was a hurdler and sprinter on the Women's Track and Field Team. Through physics I had the opportunity to perform research on gravitational waves with LIGO and pulsars in Puerto Rico. During my senior year I attended The University of Otago in New Zealand where I studied sociology and physics, and practiced mountaineering skills on hikes. During my time at Oberlin I enjoyed teaching philosophy to elementary school students as well as learning the techniques of rock climbing.
Study Abroad
The University of Otago in New Zealand during the Fall of 2019.
