Simple Biographical Information
I'm Paris and I was born June 14th, 2003. I identify as female with the pronouns she/her/hers. I'm from Kernersville, North Carolina which is about an hour and a half drive from Duke. There I went to Robert B. Glenn High School. (Go Bobcats!) My intended major here at Duke is BME. I also intend to minor in Environmental Science and Policy. Outside of being a student I also work at the Bryan Center helping to make theatre sets. I love my job. At home, I'm the middle child. I have two sisters. Winoka, who is exactly a year and a half younger than me, and Shaila, who is a little over 5 years older than me. I miss them all the time but I get to see them every other weekend whenever I go home.

Miscellaneous
- My dad wanted to name me Pariscova but to his dismay, my mom would only settle for Paris.
- At home, I have three dogs, three cats, three snails, and a hermit crab.
- I got my tonsils and adenoids taken out in 3rd grade.
- I do a lot of random art projects for fun. Examples of some I'm working on now include:
- Making mosaics from broken glass collected from sites on campus.
- Making mini statues by 3D printing pre-made files, sanding them, priming them, and spray painting them with flat white spray paint.
- Turning fallen limbs in Duke Forest into fancy walking sticks. My favorite one so far is a spindly one I'm going to make fairy-woodland-themed.
- Because of record mistakes, half of my family on my dad's side has the name "Reynosa" while the other has the last name "Reynoso".
