A Turtle-Loving Terp: Sherry Fan (Participant)

Hello~

My name is Sherry Fan and I am a freshman Physiology and Neurobiology major from Gaithersburg, MD. I am a member of the UMD Badminton team and I love to stay active. In my spare time, I enjoy drawing, reading, learning, and volunteering. At home I have a pet turtle named Guigui. When I got her, I spent hours on end researching the anatomy and behavior of turtles - I am curious to see how much semi aquatic turtles have in common with sea turtles.

I am super excited to interact with sea turtles in person! I have been fascinated with them since writing a research paper about them in elementary school. Sadly, when I learned about sea turtles then, they were already endangered, and currently, the situation has only gotten worse. I am looking forwards to contributing to the well being of the turtles at the hospital and using what I learn to continue helping the environment in the future. I am also looking forwards to meeting inspiring new people, making great friends, and having fun together!
