Storytellers
A picture is worth a thousand words. Andrew is working on a digital art installation where medical students can share their experiences and feelings as they navigate through the trials and tribulations of finding themselves as doctors.

The Cake!
An excerpt from Andrew’s upcoming book: "This book is not about moist, delectable baked goods encased in icing. 'The Cake!' is a quote from a financial aid presentation I used to give to high school students... 'cake' is an informal lexical item (slang) used to describe money, in the context of the presentation I was referring to a specific kind of money – scholarships and bursaries."
