Hello, I'm Helen, a sophomore at Stanford studying Electrical Engineering and Philosophy. I am originally from New York City and moved to the west coast, completely unfamiliar to the people, culture, and geography. Coming here not knowing a single person nor the environment meant that there was a lot of room for self-exploration. At my time at Stanford, I have been involved in various organizations on campus and have really developed my interests both academically and socially. I think that knowing yourself includes knowing your environment, how it serves you, and how you can serve it as well. I've become well adjusted to this campus and can introduce you to the places most appreciated by the students, the places many students don't know about, and the little quirks that this campus has. I can introduce you to student life and answer any questions you have, with a well-rounded perspective!
