I live in New York City and am a student at Columbia University, where I study History (focus on Germany from 1873-1989, the Balkans, and Soviet Russia) and International Relations (Human Rights and Conflict Resolution). I'm originally from Cape Cod and was a musical theater performer before going back to school. I travel as much as possible and have been to 39 states and 23 countries. I spend a lot of time swimming and kayaking. I also love gymnastics. I occasionally take adult rec classes at Chelsea Piers, but I mostly cover U.S. elite competitions for www.thecouchgymnast.com!
