 LINDSEY BURKE

*TBD

*I am a transfer student from Temple University, but after taking some time off and finding my way here, my credits would probably classify me as a sophomore.  I have a little catching up to do, but I’m thrilled to be here and on track at Cedar Crest as a math major.

Hometown: Quakertown, PA

Interests within her major: Teachers have always told me that math and writing are a dangerous combination because the interests conflict “too much,” and relate to totally different sides of the brain.  However, I really do love them both!  And despite their differences, writing skills can be tremendously useful in mathematics.  Being able to explain processes in proper detail allows more people to follow along and better understand.

Other Activities: I really enjoy creative writing, and the term “fiction” is probably my favorite word in sound and meaning.  I’m also passionate about art, reading, enjoying beautiful weather, and good company.
