Dainis Berzins	Medical School: Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine Undergrad: Loyola University Chicago Hometown: Brinklow, MD Originally from Maryland, I came out to Chicago for my undergrad and medical degrees. Growing up on the East Coast I love everything outdoors, especially hiking and fishing.

Michelle Brito	Medical School: Texas Tech University School of Medicine - Amarillo Undergrad: Washington University in St. Louis Hometown: Houston, TX I grew up in Houston, Texas and spent my summers visiting family in Ecuador. I am a soft blend of pep, subtle sass, with a running undercurrent of sarcasm. I mainly run off of avocados and eggs, but occasionally expand my culinary horizons with international foods. On a day off, you could probably find me biking, hiking, yoga-ing, sharpening my dance moves and/or planning adventurous travel excursions. When I grow up, I plan on applying my future talents to global health and disaster medicine. Favorite Thing About Living in Chicago: joining the Chicago bike culture and Chicago’s salsa scene
Mollie Chesis	Medical School: University of Kansas School of Medicine Undergrad: Brown University Hometown: Stilwell, KS I grew up thinking that playing in corn fields is a definitely totally normal thing to do and thinking I was going to be a writer. I did study creative writing in college, but I guess I decided to be a doctor. RIP WIP. I still love to read and to write, but I spend all my spare hours being a circus artist! I’m going on ten years of working on contortion, hand balancing, and any circus apparatus I can get my hands on! Chicago has an amazing circus scene, and I genuinely pumped about starting lessons and classes in the city. (That all being said, if you are ever wanting to have long discussions about esoteric writing concepts—hit me up). Favorite Thing About Living in Chicago: Public transit! I know it seems silly, but I cannot explain how wide-eyed I get on a train that literally goes into an airport. It feels like MAGIC.
