Her thoughts on food allergies: “ Learning to be vocal about my food allergies is essential for me to be safe. I learned that it is important to speak up about your allergy, regardless of the situation. No matter how uncomfortable or strange it might seem to talk about your allergy with certain people, you must become comfortable doing so, because it is the only way you have to stay safe and educate others about food allergies.”
