      <h1>Regina Compton</h1>
      <h3>Code wrangler. Storyteller. Perennial student.</h3>
      <p>Regina learned to code as an act of quiet defiance. The inflexibility of online, depressing drag-and-drop templates troubled Regina, who imagined more vibrant, more flexible, more beautiful ways to shape the web. So, she learned to code. Though a once self-proclaimed Luddite, Regina now enjoys the long stretches of time she spends having conversations with her Mac machine. Presently, Regina studies the art-of-talking-to-computers at <a href="http://devbootcamp.com/" target="_blank">Dev Bootcamp</a> in Chicago. </p>
      <p class="img-position"><img src="imgs/reg-portrait.jpg" class="portrait"><p>
      <p>Regina also likes to think about music, in particular opera. She dedicated the last three years of her life to the study of "simple recitative," a style of music that carries the dialogue in dramatic works. Scholars once ignored simple recitative, as though it were a stray dog or the last kid picked for dodge ball in gym class. Regina acknowledged the beauty and excitement of simple recitative. For this, some people said <a href="http://haendel.de/Gesellschaft/haendel-forschungspreis/forschungspreis-2015" target="_blank">"good work, you."</a> Regina continues to research and contemplate music: she sneaks away to the Newberry Library on Saturdays to study scores, and she anticipates each performance of the CSO and Lyric Opera.</p>
