 My name is Adele Woodmansee and I am a second year undergraduate at Harvard University studying biology. I grew up in Westfield, Vermont in a very isolated home and have always spent a lot of time outdoors. I am passionate about hiking, nordic skiing, running, and mountain biking. I am planning to take a year off between my sophomore and junior years of college to focus on work and research.

This summer, before I begin work and research, I plan to hike the Appalachian trail. I will start within a few days of finishing my exams for the spring semester, and will aim to finish at the end of September. This is a journey I have hoped to complete for years, and I am very excited to finally undertake the challenge. I will use the scholarship to help cover gear and food costs to successfully complete this hike.
