Michael is pointing at a poster of the nervous system, demonstrating her keen interest in neurology. “I’m constantly happy to be learning about anything neurology-related because it is so interesting to see how such small parts in your brain can be entirely in control of regular actions humans do on a daily basis. Whenever I complete basic daily actions, such as walking or thinking, I am able to correlate a part of my brain to it. These connections I make function as fulfillments to my passion.” (Photo by Joyce Tadesse Kassa)
