My fiancé, Andrew Vasko, and I met 8 years ago at GW. We were both freshman living in Lafayette Hall; I was on the 8th floor and he was on the 7th.
We loved exploring DC together, taking long walks from Foggy Bottom all the way to the Capital, and visiting the monuments and museums.
We would frequently eat out, and being so close to so many amazing restaurants definitely helped shape us into the foodies we are today.
Volunteering together was another big part of what brought us together as friends and as a couple. Our favorite experience was an Alternative Breaks trip to New Orleans our sophomore year, where we helped build homes with Habitat for Humanity.
After our undergraduate studies, we both stayed at GW. I graduated from GW Medical School in 2016 and Andrew completed his Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering in 2015.
We now live in Philadelphia together. I am a pediatric resident at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children and Andrew is a civil engineer at Schnabel Engineering. We love having a new city to explore, but continue to hold onto our many years of fond memories in DC and at GW.
We are excited to be getting married this May in Tysons Corner, VA, right outside the city where it all began.
