Wonder Twins activate! (A flashback phrase for those of you who watched cartoons in the ’70s.) Thump is most fortunate to have Elspeth, Sheena’s twin sister, join our crew. After returning to the States from 6+ months of traveling and visiting family with Sheena in Peru and South America, Elspeth decided to make Bend her home.

While in Peru, Elspeth really enjoyed spending extended time with family and increasing her Spanish fluency so she can understand the nuances of conversations and jokes. An unexpected surprise was an appendicitis that sent her to the hospital. She later learned that her entire Peruvian side of the family had had their appendix removed. She found it funny that hers decided to go while visiting Peru.

Elspeth is a graduate of the University of Oregon with a double major in Spanish and Psychology. She is intrigued with the idea of doing graduate work that focuses on health care technology. After graduate school, she is considering returning to Peru to live longterm.
