I recently recieved my Masters degree from the University of Illinois in Law and am working at the Attorney General's Office.
I am in the process of testing for an Islet Cell Transplant at the University of Illinois Chicago. If accepted I would be their first African-American! Cross your fingers and/or say a prayer PLEASE!

Any questions, just ask.
I can also, more frequently be reached via email at gaddy.samantha@gmail.com
