+<dt>Why iGEM:</dt>
+<dd> I first heard about iGEM when I was in high school and ever since I wanted to be part of it, for me this is a very exciting opportunity. I first joined the team last year and I enjoyed it so much I decided to return. I can’t wait to make some awesome bacteria! I moved to Canada two years ago from Germany. Now I am really enjoying Vancouver.</dd>
+<dt>Hopes to gain from iGEM:</dt>
+<dd>I hope to play a bigger role in designing the constructs and systems for our project this year. In addition I hope to improve my public speaking skills and learn even more about the creative applications of microbes through this years Giant Jamboree!</dd>
+<dt>What inspires you:</dt>
+<dd>I love bacteria and all sorts of Microbes but aside from microbiology I am interested in marine biology. Through scuba diving, my favourite destination being Egypt, I fell in love with the beautiful underwater world.</dd>
+<dt>Desired Impact on the World:</dt>
+<dd>I love research and I want to pursue a career in science, what that will look like and where I will be is a mystery right now but I’m sure it will all work out.  </dd>
+<dt>Hobbies:</dt>
+<dd>
+My favourite thing to do here is skiing in winter; I can’t wait for next season. On campus you can find me either in the lab, at the gallery, or at the pool napping. But if there is something you should know about me is that I love travelling and living in different places around the world, so this is definitely not my last stop.</dd>

+<dt>Why iGEM:</dt>
+<dd> The first time I herd about iGEM was though a friend who attended one of the information sessions from the year before, I was curious so I decided to check it out.  I was astonished with the creativity, freedom, and quality of the projects and I told myself that I need to be a part of this experience</dd>
+<dt>Hopes to gain from iGEM:</dt>
+<dd>I would love to work on my wet lab skills and learn the in’s and out’s of designing biological systems. Since this is my first experience with iGEM and synthetic biology I am excited to soak in as much information as I can.</dd>
+<dt>What inspires you:</dt>
+<dd>To put it simply, good music, good friends, and good cheer.</dd>
+<dt>Desired Impact on the World:</dt>
+<dd>I think microbes are fascinating and for the time being I see myself transforming the world through creative research. But who knows, I’m sure iGEM will allow me to open my mind to new possibilities within science, business, and policy alike.</dd>
+<dt>Hobbies:</dt>
+<dd>I love beer, craft beer to be precise, and I love to share it with friends. </dd>

+<dt>Major and Year:</dt>
+<dd>Integrated Sciences Graduated January 2014</dd>
+<dt>Why iGEM:</dt>
+<dd>I joined iGEM because of a Terry Talk by a past iGEM member, who described the elegance of synthetic biology and the need to create standardized parts. That moment on, I was hooked into iGEM and its limitless potential.</dd>
+<dt>Hopes to gain from iGEM:</dt>
+<dd>I have been with iGEM for several years now and every year I love being able to take a concept and try to turn it into something tangible, useful, and meaningful; it truly is a unique undergraduate experience. The jamboree is one of my favourite parts of iGEM, its inspiring to see all the different projects and hear what inspired other teams.</dd>
+<dt>What inspires you:</dt>
+<dd>Nature, its incredible complexity juxtaposed with its elegant simplicity is just mind blowing. I see nature and its application as being as limitless as the imagination itself.</dd>
+<dt>Desired Impact on the World:</dt>
+<dd>I live and breathe science, ask mike, and I see myself having a long enjoyable life pondering synthetic systems in microbes, or probing the pathophysiology and treatments of human diseases. </dd>
+<dt>Hobbies:</dt>
+<dd>Outside from lab work and reading "binders full of journal articles", I enjoy watching hockey and maintaining my vegetable garden. Occasionally, I enjoy swimming and hiking.</dd>
