Favorite website / app:

Someone who inspires you and knowledge they have imparted:
My peers at university inspire me, Lauren Brennan and Dana Christo. They both have encouraged me and helped me in amazing ways. These women have expanded my view of what is possible for students our age to accomplish. They go above and beyond with their passions, and just being around them when they’re excited about something is inspiring.
