Congratulations, Cheri!

My beautiful cousin, Cheri, has had quite the week.

She graduated yesterday, with a Master of Science with a major in Biological Sciences. (She graduated last year with a Bachelor of Arts and Science with majors in Biological Sciences and Psychology.)

As if that weren't enough, Cheri started her week in Minneapolis. She attended the Associated Professional Sleep Societies' annual meeting, where a paper that she submitted was selected as one of the conference's press releases.

Here is a link to the LA Times article about her research on the benefits of sleep for athletes.

Here's a small excerpt from the article.

Athletes understand how important training is, and nutrition, but there's a third component that makes a big difference in how they perform — sleep," says Cheri Mah, lead author of the study presented last week at the Associated Professional Sleep Societies' meeting in Minneapolis.

I'm unbelievably proud of Cheri. She has achieved so much already in her young life.

Did I mention that she's a gifted and talented dancer, too?

Brains, beauty, talent, and a great personality to boot.
The girl's got it all!!
