How long at MUSC: 4 months.

Least favorite chore: Finding a dead bug and having to get rid of it.

Ingredient you must have in your refrigerator: Hazelnut coffee creamer.

Fondest childhood memory: Waking up before sunrise on Christmas morning with my siblings and running into a trap my dad had set up (pie tins on a string blocking the hallway) so that we would run scared back to bed for a while—it worked.

Biggest challenge: Remembering that things are not purely black or white–there are many shades of grey.
