<\/a>Hi! My name is Scott Yim, and I\u2019m from Methuen, MA. I\u2019m a senior and proud resident of Quincy House, studying Biomedical Engineering and pursuing a secondary in Computer Science. I am a Peer Advising Fellow (PAF) for freshmen and a campus tour guide for the Crimson Key Society. I also played on the Varsity Volleyball team here for two years. I love photography, trying new foods, hiking, biking, and basically anything outdoors\u2026especially beach volleyball! It\u2019s been a memorable two years at Harvard thus far, and I\u2019m excited to share my experience with you all.<\/p>\nCaroline Burke \u201913<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Hi! My name\u2019s Caroline Burke, and I\u2019m a senior at the College hailing from Barrington, RI. I\u2019m a member of Dunster House, but am spending this year living in Harvard\u2019s DeWolfe housing facility. I\u2019m a recently declared Social Studies concentrator (yahoo!), but am also pre-med and thinking about pursuing a secondary in Human Evolutionary Biology. Outside of the classroom, I keep myself busy as a member of FOP\u2019s (Freshman Outdoor Program) steering committee, a tour guide for the Crimson Key Society, and an advocate for Project HEALTH. I\u2019m also the co-director of PBHA\u2019s HELP, a volunteer program that works with Cambridge Head Start preschools. In my spare time, I like to catch up on Glee and Grey\u2019s Anatomy, nap, or grab a bite to eat in the Square (Le\u2019s and Noch\u2019s are a couple tried-and-true favorites).<\/p>\nJesse Sanchez \u201913<\/h3>\n
<\/a>I am a Latino first-generation college student from San Diego, CA and am currently a senior at Harvard. A Social Studies concentrator and proud member of Adams House, I am very involved with the Latino community at Harvard and have a passion for public service, particularly in Education. I love my culture, I love to perform, and I love giving back to the community in any way I can. Harvard has not only given me the outlets to do what I am passionate about, it has also given me the opportunities to discover new interests and passions. It blows my mind every time I think about my Harvard experience- renowned professors, supportive faculty and staff, amazing friends- I\u2019ve found it all here. And, of course, there are just as many possibilities off campus as there are on campus. After traveling to Brazil and China with Harvard programs this past summer, I decided to study abroad in Barcelona, Spain for the fall semester. The world has a lot to teach you and I\u2019m grateful to have the opportunity to learn. These new perspectives and experiences have been challenging the way I think and I\u2019m welcoming all the change that is sure to come! After all, growth is what Harvard is about.<\/p>\nCaroline Trusty ’14<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Hi! My name is Caroline Trusty and I am studying History & Literature with a secondary in American Government. I’m from Baltimore, Maryland (yes, home of the Baltimore Ravens, Superbowl XLVII champs) and I currently live in Eliot House (yes, one of the best houses on campus). I am a Tutor and a Peer Consultant for the Bureau of Study Counsel, helping undergraduate students learn French and helping graduate students learn English. I am also a research assistant for the History & Literature Department, and a fundraiser for the Harvard College Fund. Recently, I also started working at the Harvard Law School as a technical intern. \u00a0My interests vary, and in my free time I love discussing everything from historic Supreme Court cases, literature form the French Algerian War, politics on Capitol Hill, to the politics between the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I just finished a five-semester run as an executive designer for The Harvard Crimson, and now I have a ton of free time to blog about the things going on on campus!<\/p>\nJeanie Nguyen \u201914<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Although my vocal fluctuations may give it away, I\u2019m a San Diego native, striving to preserve my tan during the depths of East Coast winters. As a sophomore premedical student, I intend to concentrate in Neurobiology with a secondary in Global Health and Health Policy and a citation in Spanish. I\u2019m employed at the Harvard Decision Science Laboratory as a Research Assistant. Beyond class and sticking EKG probes on human subjects, I\u2019m an exercise enthusiast who has developed a working mental map of Boston via distance running. My predilection for urban life and culture has been satisfied by my volunteering efforts as a youth tutor and mentor, as well as a liaison for the Distinguished Young Women of America scholarship program and the Elks National Foundation. I split my free time between hysterically laughing at corny jokes and pick up lines, craving delectable avocados, and watching trashy reality television\u2026because who doesn\u2019t like a good old fist pump every now and then?<\/p>\nKate Meakem \u201914<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Hello everyone!\u00a0 My name is Kate Meakem (most of my friends know me as Meaks) and I am from the ever-proud Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.\u00a0\u00a0 As those of you who followed me last year might know, I am now a junior at Harvard living in Currier House and planning to concentrate in History. \u00a0This year I find myself involved in a number of activities including co-directing PBHA\u2019s Elderly 1-2-1, \u201ccomping\u201d Harvard\u2019s Women in Business, working at Lamont Cafe, junior staffing Harvard Model Congress, and being a proud member of Kappa Alpha Theta. \u00a0In my spare time, I enjoy talking to my awesome blockmates, rediscovering 90s music, watching random Youtube clips, spending exorbitant amounts of time on Facebook, and catching meals with friends that live in different houses.<\/p>\nKemie Iko \u201814<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Hi all!\u00a0 My name is Kemie Iko and I\u2019m from Fairfax, Virginia (just outside of the nation\u2019s capital).\u00a0 I am currently a junior at the College, and a proud resident of Pforzheimer House.\u00a0 I am a History and Literature pre-concentrator (let\u2019s hear it for the humanities!) and I have a foreign language citation in Spanish.\u00a0 Beyond the walls of a classroom, I am involved in a number of on-campus organizations.\u00a0 I serve as a tour guide for the Crimson Key Society, and I\u2019m also involved with On Harvard Time and the Business Board of the Harvard Crimson.\u00a0 When I get a minute to myself, you can find me deeply invested in my favorite television programs or catching up on the latest celebrity gossip and the newest YouTube sensations.<\/p>\nShaun Chaudhuri \u201915<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Hi! My name is Shaun Chaudhuri, and I\u2019m from Danville, California. I am a sophomore. I\u2019m planning to concentrate in economics, but I may change depending on the classes I take this year. I am on the Varsity Tennis Team, and also a member of\u00a0 the Harvard Chess Team. I am also a member of the Student Astronomers at Harvard-Radcliffe(STAHR).\u00a0 In my spare time, I love challenging the chess masters in Harvard Square, and watching professional tennis on TV. I am looking forward to all the interesting experiences and journeys I will embark on this year!<\/p>\nSarah Reid \u201915<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Hello! I\u2019m Reid, Sarah Reid (007 reference anyone?), a sophomore. I\u2019m originally from Central Vermont, so city life is a bit of a\u00a0 change for me! I\u2019m interested in too many things to decide on a concentration just yet, but I know I want to pursue a track in Mind, Brain, and Behavioral studies. Outside of my varied courses, I sing in The Nostalgics, a twelve-piece Soul\/Motown band of awesome undergrads, participate in the Environmental Action Committee (focusing on sustainable and local foods), work for Dorm Crew, and photograph random events for The Crimson newspaper. I am looking to expand into the arts (a cappella? Freshman musical?), as well as any other extracurricular which sounds interesting (i.e. polo). When I\u2019m not doing those things, I write songs on my guitar, study in Widener library, search and find as much live music as I can, and drink lots of tea in a quest to conquer the common cold.<\/p>\nInesha Premaratne \u201915<\/h3>\n
<\/a>Hi there! I\u2019m Inesha and I am a sophomore in Mather House, concentrating in Government and Economics. I am from the south (yee-haw!) but I was born in Hawaii (Aloha!) and if that isn\u2019t random enough, take this: I\u2019m a twin sister\u2026 and my twin goes to Harvard and lives in the exact same house as me. However, this past semester we decided to \u201csplit up\u201d as I pursued an internship in the First Lady\u2019s Office at the White House. Now I\u2019m getting back to Harvard and slowly getting back into the swing of things. Fascinated by the social entrepreneurship world, I find myself traveling quite often to Harvard\u2019s Innovation Lab where I often grab time to work with some teammates on GrowLanka<\/em>, a social venture we\u2019ve started to help the war widows in Northern Sri Lanka. When I\u2019m not scurrying between classes or catching up with friends, you\u2019ll find me at the Institute of Politics where I chair the Women\u2019s Initiative in Leadership and drool in wonderment at all of the amazing<\/em> speakers that stop by our campus. And if I\u2019m not there, I\u2019m most probably taking a break at my new favorite spot on campus\u2014the seasonal ice skating rink Harvard has just set up outside the Science Center!<\/p>\nRob Ledniczky\u00a0\u201816<\/h3>\n
