Favorite Quote: "It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude." - Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Self-Reliance."
Favorite Country: Italy, but I guess I'm biased after spending last fall and my last 3 summers there. Yumm gelato.
Raison d'être: I have no idea! I don't even know what I want to do next year, much less my reason for being.
Greatest sports moment: making my opponent cry at Nationals last year when she lost…no just kidding, I guess there were a few 5 game matches I've won in the past that have been pretty intense
One goal you would most like to meet in the next year: That Stanford Women's squash wins its division at nationals this year
Something about you not many people know: I have 2 different color eyes.
