Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together
We went to get our backpack for the Race and we could not find Kat's car in the parking garage afterwards. We were in the completely wrong parking structure. Navigation might be our biggest challenge.

I hope to gain personal satisfaction from traveling, meet new people and represent strong, career oriented females.
