Andrea Rustad

Andrea Rustad (CAS’19) of Chicago, Ill., published Skin-vincible: A Story of a Superstar with Ichthyosis (Mascot Books, 2023), a children’s book that raises awareness about a group of rare skin conditions. “I hope to become a pediatric dermatologist, so this is a very important cause to me,” she writes. “I worked closely with those with ichthyosis and...we hope that this [book] will combat bullying that many of these children face by improving public knowledge.”

From the Winter-Spring 2024 issue.
