“Harry Potter und die Kammer des Schreckens” – I am unashamedly using my childhood love of Harry Potter to stop the deterioration of my German language skills.

LATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT:
I recently started playing the mandolin. Maybe we shouldn’t call that an accomplishment until I’m halfway decent, though…

WHY THE GI RESEARCH FOUNDATION:
Getting involved in GI research gives me a sense of control over my Crohn’s disease. It is incredible to sit in Associates’ Board meetings with a group of inspiring young people who are taking an active role in the development of new treatments for these diseases that impact us all in some way.

Cat’s got my tongue, so I guess “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” will have to do.

Calculatingly adventurous. A generalist through and through. Ready to learn.

Thin Mint Milkshake
