We met in 2017 at the Loyola University Chicago graduate student orientation. Over the course of our Master’s degrees, we talked (almost constantly!) and got to know one another, both in and out of our respective labs. It became clear very quickly that we had lots in common (rock n’ roll, whiskey, travel, Will Ferrell movies)! From chatting back and forth during class (much to our professors’ dismay!), romantic dinners on Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue, adventurous weekends away exploring the KY Bourbon Trail, and finally, rooftop drinks and Broadway shows in NYC, our relationship has grown, strengthened, and transformed into a well-balanced and happy duo. We can’t wait to celebrate with all!
