1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
1. My interest in medicine led me to become a nationally licensed EMT, and I now spend my time at the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department. I’ve volunteered over 400 hours of my time there, and that time spent has cemented my decision about my chosen career field. Being able to help a person in their darkest hour is an honor, and concretely defines community service to me.
2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
2. Seeing my family affected by cancer during my uncle’s 10 year battle changed me, and his passing came far too soon. I knew from that moment that no one should ever have to see a family member, let alone a child, robbed of their life by this terrible disease. I’ve always wanted to work with kids, and after my families experience I knew that I was going to be a pediatric oncologist.
3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
3. Since becoming a certified open water scuba diver in 2009, I have dived with my family on vacations to Hawaii, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and Mexico. My most memorable experience was in the Bahamas, where I dove with sharks. Everyone on the dive kneeled against a wrecked ship while the dive master, in a chain mail suit of course, fed the sharks and let us pet them as they swam by.
4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
4. After being a competitive gymnast and a power tumbler starting at the age of 6, I joined the varsity gymnastics and cheerleading teams my freshman year of high school. I have continued to be a double varsity athlete, being recognized by the state as a scholar athlete each year.
5. How would your parents describe your personality?
5. I have fostered over 115 cats and kittens through a local rescue organization called Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation. My mom and I get a mom with many babies, and we get to feed them with the adorable little bottles. Holding the little balls of fluff before their eyes have even opened is by far the cutest thing in the world.
