Sam Castillo Speaker Liaison I'm a freshman from Hartselle, Alabama, and I'm a firm believer that life is good. I'm currently engaged in neuroscience studies at UAB, and I plan to pursue an academic research career with a focus on neurodegenerative diseases. When I'm not buried in my textbooks, anyone is welcome to join me as I grab my ukulele, crank out some worship music, and watch the beloved Birmingham sunset.
