Favorite thing about the program: If you're catching me on a serious day, my favorite thing is the camaraderie within our work room. We work some long hours but it's worth it when you're surrounded by supportive (and fun) coworkers and more importantly, friends. If you're catching me on a not-so-serious day, my favorite thing is being able to grab a milkshake in the cafeteria and going to sit with the turtles in the children's hospital.
