What do you like best about the Willow Project?
The people. This is the best group of people I have ever worked with as well as worked for.
What is your most memorable Willow Project experience?
Being appreciated by the people we serve as well as the medical students.
What does being a part of the Willow Project mean to you?
It means satisfying the members and the patients and expecting nothing in return.
Give an interesting story or fact about yourself?
A strawberry mark appeared on my head ten days after I was born. According to Wikipedia, it is a congenital benign skin lesion consisting of dense and elevated mass of blood vessels. It usually diminishes without treatment. Mine is still there.
What fruit are you and why?
I can tell you what I don’t like-strawberries. Especially if they’re on my head.
