About me
I am a student in the Class of 2026 at Duke University. I am in the Pratt School of Engineering and plan on majoring in Biomedical Engineering. Additionally, I hope to earn a dual degree in Vocal Performance.
Name Pronounciation
I honestly do not care how people pronounce my name; many of my friends say it differently. The most common pronunciations (IPA symbols) are [hɛlenɑ], [hʌlenɑ], [hʌlɛnɑ], and [hɛlɛnɑ]. However, the one most people call me (and how I pronounce it) is the last one aforementioned, [hɛlɛnɑ].
