Michaela is a sister to two brothers, Justin and Ross, who have cystic fibrosis. She has been a teen advocate for five years and a March-on-the-Hill participant for two years. This year, Michaela worked as a public policy intern for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Bethesda, Md., and is studying biochemistry at The George Washington University (GW) in Washington, D.C. She hopes to earn a doctorate in pharmacy. Fun fact: Michaela became interested in GW after passing through it every year on her way to advocate on Capitol Hill.
