When not in session, Geo finds joy dancing, studying, hiking, kayaking, and building campfires. She has a strong aversion to glitter; is partial to coffee ice cream; loves efficient data systems; and she is a total sucker for Pre-Raphaelite art, Douglas Adams’ writings, Florence Welch’s music, and corgis!
