Bridget Wickiser

I am passionate about science, music, and working with children. During high school, I was involved with science classes with elementary school students by performing stimulating, hands-on experiments. I also played the violin, played volleyball, and was involved with his school’s literary magazine, Intersectional Women’s Club, and acting club. My goals for my gap year are to become proficient in Spanish, to learn about Ecuadorian culture and traditions, and to take as many risks as much as possible, pushing me outside of my comfort zone. My favorite quote is “Why not go out on a limb? After all that’s where the fruit is.” – Mark Twain
