I have a B.A. in Math and History from St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN, U.S.A. I received my second undergraduate degree, a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree at the University of Minnesota, in August 2009.
In May and June of 2009 I did a study abroad trip to Italy. The trip was led by two University of Minnesota Professors in the Civil Engineering department and the course focused on Ancient and Modern Structures.
After the course in Italy was complete I was very fortunate to have another opportunity to do some more traveling in Slovakia and to intern at the Technical University of Kosice.
In September 2010 will begin another adventure in Europe. I have been awarded a 24,000 Euro scholarship to attend the Erasmus Mundus Advanced Masters Course in the Structural Analysis of Monuments and Historical Constructions. This is a ten month program with the first part being 6 one-month courses taken at the University of Padova in Italy and the second part being a dissertation in Guimaraes, Portugal at the University of Minho. I am very excited for this program and excited to share my adventure with you!
I did another load of laundry today and realized that I really should start a little collection of laundry money since the machines only take exact change. I only had one 50 cent piece so if I had needed to do two loads tonight I would have had to go asking people if they had change for a Euro or two. I decided that a Nutella cup lid would make the perfect little collection dish.
