During my medical leave I became a member of the United Ostomy Associations of America. I looked up other organizations that were related to UOAA, and Girls With Guts popped up.
What intrigued me the most about Girls with Guts was that it was an organization created and ran by women to support women. IBD can be incredibly debilitating, especially as a woman in todays society. I decided that I wanted to give back to the organization that instilled hope and made me feel less alone.
Studying, shadowing a colorectal surgeon, and I will hopefully be working in an IBD research lab this upcoming semester. I love to read books on wellness, bake chocolate chips cookies, try a new coffee spot, and watch grey’s anatomy when I have free time.
