I began my freshman year at the University of Minnesota, eight hours away from home, without knowing a single person. However, it didn't take me long to fall in love with University, the city, and the people in Minneapolis, so I was ecstatic when I found out that through the DREU program, I would be spending my summer doing research at this incredible place. Although I love programming, I also enjoy crafting, baking, and watching Criminal Minds when I'm not at my computer.
