We can't wait to see you all over Zoom!

Let's introduce our last speaker, Nate Cannon!
Cannon has attended the University of Minnesota, Hamline University, MN Paralegal Institute, and is on the NCCDP.
If Cannon could solve a global issue it would be to eliminate the divides between us.
A person Cannon looks up to is Cannon's mom. Cannon said, "She's the most resilient person I've ever known and without her standing by my side through my darkest of days, I wouldn't be alive.”
Cannon’s top bucket list item is to visit Australia and see koalas in the wild.
Fun fact about Cannon, Cannon loves pancakes!
We look forward to his talk tomorrow!

Meet Deborah Gilboa M.D.!
Gilboa has attended the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Carnegie Mellon University.
If she could solve a global issue she would make education free and accessible to every child.
Gilboa looks up to many people, but the most notable person is Oprah. Gilboa said, " I admire Oprah, as she saw a cultural problem (that women believed they should care for others at their own detriment), and set out to change our culture in order to solve it and is succeeding."
Her top bucket list item is to spend an entire summer traveling with her kids.
Fun fact about Gilboa, she has a superpower of helping people figure out what career they want to pursue
We'll hear from Gilboa on Saturday!
