Brain Injury: Brain tumor found between my brain and skull. Intense radiation treatments from childhood cancer caused this tumor to develop. 

Explanation of Mask: I used the colors red and black because I attended NC State University and graduated with an agricultural degree.  I have a passion for volunteering for the NC Cooperative Extension. People describe me as outgoing, inspiring, hardworking, and kindhearted.  My hobbies are working on classic cars, jeeps, and sailboats, as well as collecting tractors.
