🌟 Meet one of our amazing new interns, Asmeret! 🌟 We’re beyond excited to welcome her to the Leap team! 🎉 Asmeret is a first-year student at the University of Minnesota, working toward her Master’s in Public Health with a focus on Maternal and Child Health. 💙✨

What interested you about Leap?
I was interested in Leap because I have worked in all kinds of healthcare settings but never a pediatric one. After getting my MPH I would like to one day become a pediatrician or an OB/GYN so this also gave me the opportunity to see what that could look like.

Fun fact?
I am fluent in 2 languages and I also have over 30 first cousins.

Hobbies?
I enjoy trying new foods as well as watching a good netflix docuseries

Favorite restaurant in the twin-cities? Red Rabbit

Where would you like to retire?
I would like to retire in Eritrea.
🌟 Introducing our amazing intern, Claire! 🌟 Claire is a second-year Master’s student at the University of Minnesota, specializing in Public Health with a focus on Maternal and Child Health. We are so excited to have her on the Leap team! 🎉 Her passion for improving health outcomes for mothers and children is truly inspiring, and we can’t wait to see the incredible work she will do. Welcome, Claire! 💙✨ 

What interested you about Leap?
I took a class that Dr. Julia taught, and I was immediately drawn to her and the work that her and her team accomplish at Leap Pediatric and Adolescent Care. I am interested in the ways that health providers can better the well-being of patients beyond clinical care, so working with Dr. Julia allows me to further explore my interests!

Fun fact?
I have a corgi named Milo.

Hobbies?
I love to read, play video games, and cook! I am also a coffee snob and regularly check out new coffee shops across the twin cities. My current favorite is Carma Coffee in Northeast Minneapolis – their cold brew is phenomenal.

Favorite restaurant in the twin-cities?
This is such a difficult question because there are so many great spots in the twin cities, but I often frequent Momo Sushi in Northeast Minneapolis. The specialty rolls are incredible – the Angry Dragon roll is a must.

Where would you like to retire?
I honestly see myself retiring here in MN. Maybe that is my true Midwesterner speaking, but I really enjoy Minnesota.
