I am currently a senior over at GWU studying Entrepreneurship and Sociology. I'm a huge dog person and love cooking and baking. I've lived in DC for around three years now and so I am very comfortable navigating all around the city - there is always a new restaurant to try! I'm new to the app and excited to get started!
