Personal: Favorite skill is a piked Jaeger on the uneven bars … Enjoys math, science and creative writing and plans to major in engineering or a science at Yale … Why Yale? “ I like how well-rounded a Yale education is. I may be studying science, but I also get the chance to learn so many other subjects. Also, Yale is a smaller school so there are much more opportunities for each student as far as outside research or summer internships go.”
