Future Career:
Dentist. "I had a hard mouth to work with as a kid: I broke my two front teeth at age seven and I had braces for almost 6 years. I had to fix a tongue thrust and had multiple dental appliances put in… let’s just say I had lots of experience with dentists.”
Why LCM?
"Heard a couple of shiurim from R’ Sacks, and they were fascinating. Dr. Sokol and Dean Ratner also came to speak at my yeshiva in Israel, and I liked their hashkafos.”
Spare time...
“I read a lot. Really fast, and a lot. Especially fantasy fiction…Wheel of Time, Name of the Wind, Lord of the Rings…"
