Her thoughts on food allergies: “The most important things I have learned about managing food allergies in the past year are to always check the ingredients carefully (or ask the person who prepared the food), not to be too shy in asking for accommodations from the chef or wait staff, and always bring my epinephrine auto-injectors, even if I am not planning to eat anything, because plans may change.”
