Favorite Book: Grendel by John Gardner

Favorite Food: Bread (Wawa bread & packaged bread specifically)
Favorite Quote: “I think that we defy entropy and impermanence with our films and our poems. I think we hold onto each other a little harder and say I will not let go; I do not accept the ephemeral nature of this moment, I’m going to extend it forever – or at least I’m going to try.” -Jason Silva, Existential Bummer

Plans After Penn: Hopefully dancing professionally for a bit then getting an MPH/MBA and working in health innovation!
