The Team

Evelyn Chen

Co-President

Hey everyone! My name is Evelyn, and I'm a junior majoring in Environmental Engineering. Outside of BEE Hive, I am involved with the Cornell Stable Isotope Laboratory (Sparks Lab), Project Hope, and Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW). In my spare time, I enjoy reading, swimming, playing (table) tennis, watching movies, and watching stand-up comedy.

Hannah Ceisler

Co-President

Hi[ve] everyone! I’m Hannah Ceisler, and I'm buzzing through my senior year studying biological engineering with a minor in creative writing. As a busy bee on the pre-med track, I work in the Brito Lab, where we explore the hive-mind of host-microbe interactions within the microbiome. Outside the lab, I go beeyond for the women’s Club Softball and Ice Hockey teams. When I’m not on the field or rink, you’ll find me bee-sy reading, writing, obsessing over my dog, or watching horror and comedy to keep things buzz-worthy.
