About Me

I am a freshman in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University- Go Blue Devils! I'm originally from Austin, Texas, so I'm excited to (hopefully) see some snow this winter! I miss my family and friends back home, but mostly I miss my golden retriever, Bugs. What I lack for in height I make up for in optimism and sarcasm. I'm a problem solver, runner, musician, and TexMex enthusiast. My spirit animal is a honey bee.

Name Pronunciation

My name, "Erin Simons," is pronounced "AIR-in SIGH-munz." My last name is not pronounced "SIM-ins" because that is how "Simmons" is pronounced, and my name only has one "m."
