About Me: Hey! I'm Katie, a junior studying neuroscience and biology. I am from Chambersburg, PA so I understand moving from a small town to a big city. In my free time I love spending hanging out with my dog, reading, going on walks around DC, and have recently taken up embroidery! I also love music and spend as much as time as I can going to concerts, with my favorites being Taylor Swift and Lizzy McAlpine!
