Favorite part of living in Madison
My two favorites of Madison are the community and the Terrace! UW-Madison has an extremely collaborative community that nurtures research from multiple perspectives. I am grateful to have learnt from and worked with some of the best minds in my field. Also, Terrace Sunsets are extra-ordinary and I absolutely love walking on the Lakeshore Path from education building till Picnic Point.
