Hi hi! My name is Nora, and I’m a senior (!!) at Vassar College. I’m a Science, Technology, and Society major, and totally unsure of what to do post-college. I’m currently writing my senior thesis on the Paleo Diet and its relationship with neoliberalism.

I’m originally from Norway, but I was born and raised in Singapore. Despite growing up in the tropics, I love the cold weather and the snow. When I first moved to America for college I was disappointed that the summer months here are just as warm as they are back home… But luckily the winters get really cold and I can go sledding and wear jackets and jumpers 🙂

Growing up I did a bunch of different sports like touch rugby, gymnastics, and track. When I came to college I decided to not do any of those and instead start diving, so now I spend 2 hours a day practicing with my team. It’s been absolutely wonderful being a part of such a close-knit team of strong, intelligent, weird, and rad women.

So if you know anyone hiring any of these skills, pls pls pls let me know.

So, I’m Lesley. I was born on September 26, 2000, and am the youngest of five siblings.  I grew up in a traditional Mexican family in a city called Poughkeepsie. Even though my family and I were living here in the United States, my parents always made sure to keep our cultural traditions present. Two of my favorite traditions that my family has is celebrating “Dia de Los Reyes” and “Dia de Los Muertos.”

Growing up I was always surrounded to sports because of my siblings. I began playing basketball at the age of seven, and had my brother and sisters teach the basics. In middle school, I became interested in volleyball and joined the school team. Later on in high school, I decided to try rowing and so I joined the school rowing team.

Education wise, I currently attend Poughkeepsie High School and am interested in science – nothing specific just everything about the subject. I hope to graduate from college and become a paramedic.

Okay. So, yeah. That’s me.

Hi, my name is Sarah Park and I am a sophomore at Vassar College. I have lived in Connecticut for most of my life, but I was born in Pennsylvania, I’ve lived in Florida, and I also spent a gap year in South Korea when I was 14. At Vassar, I am a math major on the certification track for secondary math education. I have always known that I want to become an educator, and I enjoy tutoring and other activities related to teaching and learning. I also like to spend my free time dancing! I am part of a new cultural dance org on campus that focuses on k-pop. I have a hard time picking favorites, but some of my other things I like are spaghetti, sweatshirts, pink, sleeping, and corgis. 🙂
