About Me
I'm Melina Smith, an undergraduate (class of 2015) in Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University, planning to major in Biomedical Engineering. I'm from Chapel Hill, NC and in my free time I like to play piano, dance, hike, ski, and travel. I'll admit that I'm a bit wary of sharing lots of personal information on the internet, so I apologize for the dryness of this page.
Name Pronunciation
Melina is pronounced like "muh-LEEN-uh", which isn't too hard but seems to give people trouble. It's frequently mispronounced, but this doesn't really bother me--chances are I'll respond to Melinda or Melanie until you catch on. And Smith is pronounced as you normally would.
