Hey! My name is Mary Cate and I’m from a small city north of San Francisco. I’m concentrating in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, planning to pursue a PhD in wildlife conservation. I’m a big animal fan, and this semester I’ll be traveling to Kenya to do fieldwork at Princeton’s Mpala Research Center!
On campus, I’m a member of Whitman College, and I play violin in the Sinfonia orchestra, sing in the University Chapel Choir, and am a member of the Princeton Conservation Society. You can also find me reading a book in Prospect Garden, dancing in one of Princeton’s many dance studios, or on my perpetual quest to find the best croissants in town.
Princeton really is a special place and I’m so excited to share it with you. Feel free to email me at mhyde@princeton.edu with any questions about Princeton life, the application process, or anything else on your mind!
