Who are the minds behind Ralphie's Adventures?
Kat Locascio
Marketing and Entrepreneurship & Innovation Double Major Author, Business Co-Partner I am happiest when I can create an impact, volunteer, or cook up something delicious. I find excitement to find out what other’s passions are and I will most likely ask you, “what is your high and low of today”? If I am not studying you can find me hiking, being a food enthusiast around the Indianapolis area, working on programming initiatives for Butler University, and creating digital designs. Nick Sgro
Marketing and Entrepreneurship & Innovation Double Major Author, Business Co-Partner I try to live my life with a drive for constant growth. Most people believe I am a dreamer, but I believe I am just ambitious about building a better tomorrow. My ideal day is one I can spend with my family and friends on a warm beach underneath the sun. There aren’t many things I love more than food, but if I had to choose a favorite, it would be Momma Sgro’s homemade Italian. Bekah Pollard
Art + Design Major Author, Illustrator I am Art + Design major and English Writing and Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies minors at Butler University. While I've done many freelance projects so far in my career, Ralphie the Giraffe and the Insulin Pump Adventure is certainly one of my proudest. Co-writing and illustrating this book has taken a lot of time and care, and I'm proud to have contributed to such a great project. Josie Wallfred
Elementary Education Major Author I am a senior at Butler University studying to become an elementary teacher and children's books have always been a passion of mine! I am so excited that all of the hard work we have out into this book is coming alive! In my free time I love to spend time with my wonderful family and friends, read as many books as I can, traveling to new places, and spend time outside hiking and running. Can't wait to see what the future holds for all of the members our group and this awesome book! Annie LeClare Elementary Education Major Author I am an Elementary Education student originally from Midland, Michigan. You can usually find me enjoying anything that involves dogs, the beach, hiking, being with friends and family, or reading children’s books. This is the first book I’ve co-written and it has been a great experience writing it, I hope you enjoy reading it. Amber Ordaz
Pharmacy Major Author, Diabetes Researcher When I’m not studying or working, I love singing, reading, and exploring Indianapolis! I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my dog, Molly. I hope to work on more creative projects like this in the future. Enjoy! Meghan Robbins
Pharmacy Major Author, Diabetes Researcher I am a sixth year pharmacy student currently undergoing her advanced practice rotations. I will graduate in May 2016 with my PharmD and MBA. I was interested in writing this children's book because I was inspired by the opportunity to increase awareness about T1D and I have a passion for making a positive impact on the health of those around me. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially nieces and nephews. I would like to improve public health and work in community pharmacy upon graduation. |
