Favorite Quotes:
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, if he wins, knows the thrills of high achievement, and, if he fails, at least fails daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
"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."
One goal you would most like to meet in the next year: Stanford women's squash to win its division!
Something about you not many people know: I’ve spent three summers on archaeological digs in Italy (Sicily and in the Roman Forum) and that my eyes are two different colors and shapes
