Nicole Boyd

Hey there! The name's Nicole.

For those who are curious:

I'm an Art History major at Wesleyan University (not Wellesley or "the school Hilary Clinton went to," contrary to popular belief) in Middletown, CT. Like any basic Art History major, I enjoy reading and writing, especially when "old" art is the topic in question. But *theater* and *running* are things I'm very much into as well. I also have a huge penchant for Italian culture, stemming from my fascination with the Renaissance/Baroque and my love of *food*.

Speaking of food, I am pretty obsessed with it. Though I am no master chef, what I love most is making food for others. From the time I learned to preheat an oven, I have been an avid baker, notorious among friends for bringing fresh-baked batches of brownies to events whether the occasion calls for them or not. I am also addicted to pancakes and, while at home, make them for my family always. One day, I hope they will form their very own food group because they deserve that.

I'm looking forward to sharing some thoughts with the great wide world of Odyssey!
