Iulia Gheorghiu
This alum originally hails from Romainia but you can also find her chilling in Chicago. Iulia, aka Crazy Vanilla, really appreciated her time on the DL and said that there's nothing that an hour of practice can't fix. You can currently find her working at a government nonprofit in D.C. to help promote transparency and accountability in the White House.

Iulia's Advice: "Whenever life seems too hard and complicated to show up to an ultimate frisbee practice - that's the time that you REALLY need to come to practice!! Clear your mind, focus on your body, build your strength, practice those throws, and lean on your fellow DLs! Ain't nothin' that an hour of practice can't fix!"
