neb2016@gmail.comI am incredibly grateful for the opportunities and experiences I have had while a student at UW. Some of my most meaningful experiences throughout college include working as an assistant in an inclusive preschool classroom at the EEU, interning in the Seattle Children’s Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine Unit, and coordinating a reading program in the Seattle Children’s Neurodevelopmental Clinic.
I also enjoyed researching the effect of pollution on mussels in the Carrington Lab, studying abroad in Costa Rica, and taking the leap to join the climbing team at UW with no climbing experience! I look forward to my next chapter, which will hopefully include bikepacking (backpacking, with everything on a bike), camping, reading, and lots of good coffee.
