We both applied to many of the same colleges, and as fortune had it, we both attended Olin College of Engineering. In 2019, we were both RAs at Olin and *star* athletes on the club soccer teams. As we spent more and more time together, driving between Boston and Virginia, we found we had more and more in common. On January 24th, 2020, we went on our first date to a café near Olin. Even COVID-19's shelter-in-place policy couldn't keep us apart (for legal reasons, that's a joke). After two years living together in Arlington, we got engaged on February 19th, 2024 on a snowy hill overlooking beautiful South Royalton, Vermont. The rest is yet to come!
