Hello world, I’m Cait! Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, and I’ve somehow found myself back here after some brief stints in Indiana, Minnesota, Connecticut, and Ireland. By day, I’m an engineer at a medical device company (check out my LinkedIn!), and by night, I am an avid crocheter, video gamer, youtube enjoyer, book reader, project-starter. Notice how none of those hobbies include moving your body, like, at all?
Hopefully the blog will change that! I’m using this as a medium to keep myself accountable as I try to push myself to go to the gym more often. Want to know more about my free group fitness challenge? Check out my first blog post: Week Zero: Free Group Fitness Challenge for what I’m doing and why.
Here’s Carl! He’s sure to make a lot of appearances in my posts. Carl’s my favorite guy, the best boyfriend, a great cook, a talented animator, and my perma-duo in Overwatch.
I graduated from Purdue with a degree in Biomedical engineering in 2024. My best friends were made there, and somehow we’ve all ended up in the Chicago area post graduation (for the time being!).
From left to right: Chris, me, Ally, Nicole, and Andrew! These guys are some of the smartest, funniest, most creative people I know.
Of course, i’d be no where without my family. I’m sure they will be making some appearances in these posts too. Say hi to the Schmeiser family!
From left to right: Camden (my baby brother), Mom, Callan (big bro), Dad, and me!
Honorable mention for the study-abroad experience that changed my life. Here are just some of the amazing people I met while studying in Ireland during my last semester of college.
