Hey! I’m Evelyn, and I’m from Westford, Massachusetts. I’m currently majoring in economics, with the hopes of working in something related to economic development or urban planning in a big US city. I’m passionate about housing affordability, public transit, and improving public schools!
On campus, I work as a tutor in a Durham public school, volunteer as a financial coach at the Community Empowerment Fund (a local Durham nonprofit), and I’m gonna be volunteering at the Puppy Center this semester (which I’m SUPER excited about).
Outside of academics, I love reading, meticulously curating my Spotify playlists and getting people to follow them, listening to the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack over and over, and learning Persian! Fun fact about me, the summer before my freshman year at Duke, I spent 6 weeks living in Tajikistan and learning Tajiki Persian. It is definitely the most interesting thing I’ve ever done, and it was an amazing experience.
Hit me up if you ever want to talk about economic justice, a good book you’ve read recently, or your favorite subway system.
