Brittany AdewoleHowdy! My name is Brittany Adewole. I was born on 11/27/1994 to the parents of LaVonda Shelby and Akins Adewole in Houston, TX. I am the 3rd eldest of five siblings. As well as the first to attend college in my family, studying Biomedical Science, at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX. When I graduate I would like to do research in Australia. Growing up, I was a quiet kid who had passion for helping others in need. That is one of the reasons why I would like to become a physician. In my free time I enjoy reading and interior designing. One of favorite authors is Maya Angelou. One day I want to start my own interior designing business.

Ashley de la RosaI started working for the CDC four years ago. I was then recruited to work under a top secret mission under the Umbrella Corporation to create a cure for the zombie apocalypse. If you got your vaccine and are no longer affected by the particular spider...you're welcome. Now, my team and I are undergoing a rigorous task trying to create a cure for the most recent outbreak.
Emily KnightI decided at a young age that I loved rats. My love for rats made me want to share them with all of my loved ones. When my best friend died of the plague, and it was discovered that my little fur friend was the reservoir, I swore that I would make it my life's mission to love rats, give them a good reputation, and prevent fatalities that they unknowingly cause; it isn't their fault. For this reason, I assist the CDC whenever rats are suspected to be the reservoir or when the reservoir has not been determined.

Allison BrownIn 2009 I became director of the Center for Disease Control with an MD and MPH. I worked with control health threats from infectious diseases, responded to emergencies, and battled the leading causes of suffering and death in our nation. I am constantly trying to address the new and challenging health problems.
John ShodrockI joined the team at the World Health Organization in 2012. I have focused my efforts on eradicating tropical diseases, as well as preventing these diseases from plaguing the United States. I have spent a lot of time researching the Chikungunya virus. In doing so, I have attempted to formulate a disease prevention control plan to keep our southern states free from infection and eliminate potential transmission.
