My
name is Laura and I’m from Fredonia, NY. I am currently studying
Biomedical Engineering at the University at Buffalo. School keeps me
pretty busy but I always find time to do the things I love: hiking, white water
rafting, knitting, rock climbing, cooking, reading, laughing, camping, snacking
on cheese, swimming, drinking tea and of course, biking!
I’ve
spent the past couple of summers life-guarding and working as a playground
counselor for primary through middle school aged kids. This past year, I
was a resident advisor in the dormitories at my school.
I
started biking when I traveled to The Netherlands as a Rotary Youth Exchange
Student. Biking was my main mode of transportation during that
year. Anywhere I needed to go, I could rely on that bicycle to get me
there! During my year in The
Netherlands, I also had the opportunity to travel to Germany, the Czech
Republic, Austria, Italy, Spain, France, and Poland. I had some unforgettable
experiences skiing in the Alps, watching operas in foreign languages, sand dune
mountain biking, and experimenting with European cuisine.
I’m
always up for new experiences and the challenges that may come along, so I hope
you are all ready for an exciting summer!"
