Hello there reader!
I'm nothing less than ecstatic to ride along this journey in and around Delft over the coming weeks.
Welcome to my pre-departure post to learn a bit about me.
My name is Sophie Dixon, and I am a Civil Engineering student at Cal Poly SLO.
I sing in choir, am an ambassador for the College of Engineering, and can and will find any excuse to get outside and enjoy nature.
I discovered the importance of transportation and have since been fascinated by the influence it has on so many lives.
Specifically, discovering the drastic difference in quality of life directly connected to transportation in the Netherlands drew me in to learn more.
In addition, I joined ITE in the fall of my first year and have since found my people and my home in transportation.

Learning about the superior transportation infrastructure in the Netherlands ignited my passion for transportation.
Through this incredible opportunity, I will learn about sustainable modes of transportation from those who do it best on Earth: the Dutch!
