...student. In this way, I hope to inspire more young women to feel comfortable in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) so that they may consider them as future careers.

In my free time, I love skiing, sailing, reading, and finding...

Outside of my education, I am an avid golfer. As a scratch handicap, I...
