Brief Biographical Sketch:

Suzanne Xu is a senior in Saybrook College pursuing a BS in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry. Although she now resides in Florida, she feels strong ties to Maryland, where she can still recognize many of the trees on sight (the palm trees of FL confuse her). She is a Splash Admin and involved with many of the educational outreach organizations on campus. In her free time, she enjoys catching up on sleep. (She is unsure of how she managed to wake up at 6:00 am every morning during high school).
