#SoCaltech: Isabella Mueller

“I'm excited because I feel like I'm starting a new chapter in life and I'm kinda giddy, you know, pulling out my new laptop and getting all productive. But I am a little nervous, because they say the work will be hard. There are so many resources here and so many different labs I haven't been to, and projects on campus that I don't know anything about! So I'm really looking forward to figuring it out.”

First-year student Isabella Mueller, discussing the start of the new school year.
