Well hey there! I’m Lauren, a goofy kid posing as a Mechanical Engineer here at Duke. I love finding a place you think no one has ever seen before, the smell that wafts outside a laundry room, uncontrollable laughing, Thai food, and the amazing family I have found in Ubuntu. Mostly, though, I’m still tryna figure it all out! A day rarely goes by that I don’t lean on my friends to talk about this thing we call life… whenever I need to reset myself, I listen to this song/monologue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJ7AzBIJoI. Boom, just went all zen philosopher on y’all. Anyway, my interests range from prosthetics to renewable energy to robotics to neuroscience to art and design.

I love making connections with people so please reach out to me for any reason. I’ll be studying abroad in Metz, France this semester (crying/rejoicing simultaneously), but don’t let that stop you! I’d love to hear from you via email (lauren.brucato@duke.edu) or FB, and I can’t wait to meet you all in person 🙂
