I am a happy, kind student-athlete here at Stanford studying Symbolic Systems.
Hello there! My name is Caitlyn, and I am a Junior here at Stanford. I'm from the Bay Area, and am on the lightweight rowing team here. I am a part of several clubs, including Stanford Athletes in Finance, Alpha Phi, and Stanford Women in Tech and Entrepreneurship.

Describe your college experience
Coming into college, I had no idea what to expect. At college, I've made friends that feel like family, have worked harder than I ever have before, and have been lucky to be a part of groups that make me feel fulfilled and excited to start my day. I love my major and feel intellectually stimulated at all times.
Tip for future students
Don't be afraid to say yes, and don't be afraid to say no! Recognize when you're tired and need to rest.
Favorite class
ENGR 148. It's a speaker series about principled decision making. Some speakers include the CFO of Robinhood, the ex-CEO of Twitter, and more.
Career goals
I hope to go into either technology or finance. I worked at a startup last summer and loved it.
Ideal way to spend a free night
I love to get dinner out in Palo Alto, go to a party, or go on an adventure with my friends!
