Hi! My name is Katie, and I am from Midtown Atlanta. I am currently a freshman in Princeton’s engineering school, and I am interested in design, robotics, and art. I am so excited for dance parties, crazy costumes, and spontaneous activities this summer at camp!

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
