Trevor Hedrich
Hello! My name is Trevor Hedrich! Someone who has had Pompe disease ever since the age of three. I am currently a college student at Saginaw Valley State University! Although I have recently switched my major to computer science this year, I have been in public health for a couple of years previously, leading to this choice of topic for the session. If you are curious about my hobbies, I tend to game a lot, read a lot, write a lot (I am a poet!), and try out new things every so often! I am so excited to be a speaker for this session of TWYPP! See you there!
