About Me

I am a first-year student at Duke University hoping to study Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Pratt School of Engineering. I am also involved in the Duke Symphony Orchestra, in which I play cello. My other interests include golf, backpacking, and traveling.

Name Pronunciation

Although on legal records I am "Thomas Romano", almost all people call me "Tommy Romano". My first name is pronounced normally ("TOM-mee") like Tommy Bahama, and my last name is pronounced "Roe-MON-oh", just like the cheese.
