Favorite part of HSURV/What you look forward to most: My favorite part of HSURV so far is how much everyone in the research village seems to love learning for the sake of learning!! (well, we all are naturally curious!)

Your special superpower: I can break a wooden board with my bare hands (woooo, coffeehouse act in the works?!)
