What scares you most about traveling? Not having access to medical care.
What excites you most about traveling? Traveling will give me the opportunity to see new places, learn about different cultures and grow as a person.
If I could switch places with someone: The Dalai Lama or Heidi Klum.
Role model/hero: My Dad. He is the kindest person I know.
What are you passionate about? I am passionate about helping people live the best possible life.
What would you do if you won the million dollars? If we were to win the million dollars, I would donate money to support challenged athletes and to support the search for a cure for diabetes. I would pay off my debts from medical school and I would buy a baby blue vintage Bronco with the top chopped off.

Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together: We went to get our backpack for the Race and could not find Kat's car in the parking garage afterwards because we were in the completely wrong parking structure. Navigation might be our biggest challenge.

Pet peeve about your teammate: Kat is so perfect! I don't have a pet peeve.
