I would have to say that my favorite was the Bending Truss Demo.

About Me

I am a freshman in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. My intended major is BME, possibly with a minor in Chemistry, but my ultimate goal is to glorify God in everything that I do. I'm involved in Duke Cru and the Quidditch team.


Name Pronunciation

Ash-lee. My last name, the way my family pronounces it, is Boh-lik. It's a long "o" at the beginning. Just don't say Bah-ick, with a short "o"; it's one of my pet peeves.

Interests

Engineering, cats, pets in general (I'm starting to like dogs a bit), traveling, running, quidditch, shopping, video games, Cru, blobs, pool, frisbee, ping pong, adventures, and lots more.
