This is Isabelle Angela Brogna's user page! That's Isabelle like Isabel, just with another 'l' and 'e' at the end. Angela was my grandmother's name; she died a few weeks before I was born, so my dad wanted me to have her name. And Brogna... that's the name that ALWAYS trips people up. It's Italian, and pronounced just as the last syllable in lasagna is pronounced: Bro-nya.

What Makes Me Tick

• Biomedical Engineering Clearly I am an engineer... this is an EGR 53 assignment after all! In particular, drug delivery and instruments, but I'm open to other fields.
• Tennis My sweaty activity of choice. Anyone know where I can get a racquet strung around here?
• Rhode Island Home Base. Every now and then, you'll here me say, "That's wicked!" Blame it on this.
• World Religions I'm shooting for a minor in world religions! Please don't ask why cause I won't have a coherent answer, only some lofty idyllic blah!
• DUKE Any explanation necessary?
• Minor Acts of Destruction ...no comment
• and also cats, hats, snow, frats, wearing as little clothing as possible, beaches, Italian food, good movies, piano solos by Philip Glass, and nail polish.
