Hey everyone!

My name is Valentina, but most people call me Val. I was born in France and am half Italian and half German but have been living in South Florida for the past 12 years. I intend on majoring in Biology and minoring in German here at Bryn Mawr. In my free time I love to play soccer and lacrosse, go running, study, listen to music, sleep, and hang out with my friends.

I chose an explanation of creation from a Jewish standpoint because I find myself strongly connected with Jewish beliefs ever since my conversion to Judaism 5 years ago. I have a strong appreciation for the symbolism in the stories of the Torah and the fact that (reform, at the least) Judaism allows for the idea that creation and evolution both occurred in some form. The link below explains this point of view:
