Age: 13
Allergic to: peanuts, tree nuts
Favorite actresses: Reese Witherspoon, Ellen Pompeo

What her friends do to help her manage her food allergy:
“I have taught many of my friends to read the ingredient labels. Now they check packages of cookies and cake mixes to see if they are safe. If I can’t eat it, they either don’t make it, or they warn me. I am grateful that my friends watch out for me.”
