#5 Deanna See- Renaissance gal

Listen Later

My guest today is Deanna See. I thought long and hard about how I should introduce her- but I always feel that it is too easy to pigeonhole her and that will do her injustice. She is currently a Cognitive Science and Media Studies double major at University of Virginia. She breaks the norm of a ‘science’ or ‘arts’ person, which is why I am super excited to see what she does next. Please enjoy the show.
