FIG Assistant: Angie

Hello everyone! My name is Angela and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I am pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science. I’ve lived in Eugene for nearly 5 years and have enjoyed spending my free time hiking with my family, taking trips to the beach, and spending time with my two dogs, Stanley and Luna. When I’m not exploring Eugene, I spend my time either at the gym, or indoors listening to music, reading new (and old) books, and watching TV shows or movies that I stumble upon on Netflix. I am always open to new movie and book recommendations! I am very excited to be working with you this term and cannot wait to hear from you and get to know you! If you have any questions or need help, do not hesitate to reach out! I am available by email for any questions you have or if you have no questions, feel free to introduce yourself or let me know of some of the things you’d like to explore during your time in Eugene!
