Biosketch: Heather is a senior from upstate New York. She grew up getting ice cream, going for long bike rides, and finding the next hidden swimming spot up north. She loves hanging out with her dog, reading books, and giving great advice to her little sister. Besides playing basketball and ski patrolling in the winters, she rowed in high school and was recruited to row on the Women's Rowing team at Stanford. During junior year, she pivoted from rowing for the summer to an internship at a software company in Kathmandu, Nepal. She loved exploring new places and meeting new people there. She is also excited to do that at camp this year!
