I’m into most geek-stuff, really.  And I have a huge sweet tooth, which is why I bring Kit-Kats and Reese’s to my sessions (more people seem to like those, although my favorites are Butterfingers and Almond Joys). Fun fact: I have a healthy fear of umbrellas, yet I love the rain. In the past, I’ve done lab research and was an IA for BILD 4. I plan for a career in medicine, hoping for either pediatrics or internal medicine.
