Personal

Chose Caltech because it embodies everything she desired in a college experience: the academic rigor is exceptional, creating a challenging environment that will help her grow intellectually; also valued Caltech's aerospace program and NASA's JPL laboratory offers access to top-tier resources; Caltech also provides a supportive environment for continuing her involvement in sports along with small class sizes and an intimate setting which fosters a sense of community that is both strong and inclusive; wanted to be part of a collaborative and supportive environment where she could not only excel academically but also develop meaningful relationships and grow personally... In free time, loves to learn languages; has Duolingo streak of 1700... Also loves water sports and activities, such as sailing and kayaking.
