       MEET THE TEAM

       MASTHEAD

       Laura Wilson, Publishing Director

      A sophomore concentrating in Applied Math who loves linear algebra (so much so that she spins around in her chair and squeals with glee when describing its application to differential equations), Laura adores a good cup of coffee and the word “amazing.” She also appreciates minimalist outfits and pastel colors. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Laura did ballet in another life, and her spoken-word play incorporating both math and dance has wowed people the world over. She has also infected her coworkers with her continued usage of the word “y’all.” (Editor’s note: we don’t mind. It’s very efficient.)

       Cassandra Luca, Editor-in-Chief

      A font enthusiast with a penchant for blurting out incomplete phrases in French and Spanish at odd moments, Cassandra is a sophomore originally from Newton, MA. (Relocating to Cambridge was an ordeal requiring a lot of adjustment, as moving ten miles away from anywhere often does.) As someone who really likes words, she actually enjoys editing Researcher-Writer copy, her friends’ papers, and basically anything else she can get her hands on; if you couldn’t tell, she’s an English concentrator. Outside of Let’s Go, she reports for The Harvard Crimson’s News Board. Her hobbies include learning foreign languages, buying outrageously expensive stationery—the kind with thick, smooth paper, not the ones filled with wannabe flimsy sheets—writing in her bullet journal, gushing about nineteenth-century literature, biking on crowded (read: dangerous) Boston streets, finding new types of granola, and comparing all the aforementioned granola she’s ever had the good fortune to consume. She loves the color red, poached eggs, Paris, skincare that does what it says it does, cream cheese frosting, and late-night conversations.

       Danielle Eisenman, Associate Editor

      Danielle is a sophomore originally from New York. She lives in Mather House and studies History and Literature. Outside of Let’s Go, Danielle DJs for WHRB Harvard Radio’s Record Hospital and writes about music and films for The Harvard Crimson. Her favorite color is iridescent, her favorite milkshake flavor is strawberry malt, and her favorite art form is the coming-of-age high school dramedy. Talk to her if you’re curious to see how far someone can stretch a joke that never really made sense in the first place.

       RESEARCHER-WRITERS

       Julia Bunte-Mein

      Brace yourselves for an intense gastronomical experience featuring wine, cheese, and tapas in Eastern Spain and Southern France, courtesy of world nomad extraordinaire: Julia. A proud foodie, linguaphile, art-lover, and fitness aficionada, catch Julia doing early-morning yoga in the most obscure of places, scouring cities for little-known art galleries, and going to the most extreme lengths to sample the local cuisine. When she’s not getting lost in European countries, Julia studies Government and Environmental Sustainability at Harvard.

       Margaret Canady

      This summer, Margaret found herself in Greece and the region of Tuscany, Italy, quite far from her tried and true Texas roots. Armed only with a terrible sense of direction and a half-empty travel sized bottle of suntan lotion, she braved the difficulties of Mediterranean traveling, which included having too many sunsets to watch and too much good art to review. Adventures included eating her weight in gelato, pretending to know the difference between regional wines (“This is supposed to taste like smoky blueberries? I’m getting hints of…red wine”), and convincing the Greeks that yes, she really is from Texas, cowboys come in all shapes, genders and sizes, and unfortunately no, she doesn’t ride a horse to school. When not working on her Chaco tan or pretending she knows how to pronounce the Greek language, she studies psychology and dance, which have nothing (or everything) to do with world traveling, depending on your perspective.

       Eric Chin

      Warm Mediterranean sun on the back of his neck, the feeling of sand between his toes on an Italian beach, champagne on a tiled French portico… Wait—Eric’s going where? Iceland and Scandinavia? Shit. He may have to trade in sandals for hiking boots and survive on a diet of sheep’s head and “putrescent” shark meat (seriously, look it up), but at least he’ll get to take advantage of the free education, right? Oh, it’s summer? Well what about the free healthcare? Hopefully not? Okay, fine. He’ll just have to settle for climbing behind waterfalls, kayaking through fjords, hiking on glaciers, and fulfilling his mission of finding as much IKEA furniture as he possibly can.

       Emily Corrigan

      Emily prepared for her travels in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands this summer in a Rocky-esque training montage: speed-eating croissants, running up hills wearing comfortable walking sandals, and bench pressing her 30-liter Osprey
