Let me introduce you to Blake Peeples, who is currently serving as a summer intern at Caring Days. Blake is approaching his final year as a Psychology major at the University of Alabama. He is also a part of two research labs at the university.
Blake is a student-athlete for the Swim and Dive team at UA. He swims long-distance freestule in competition. Blake has been swimming since he
was about 11 or 12, and it has been a huge part of his life.
Blake participated in Dr. Potts' "Bringing Art to Life" course at UA. The course opened up an entirely new world of opportunities for Blake. Participating in Dr. Potts' class inspired Blake to pursue acreer in elderly research, teaching, and providing care, particularly those living with memory disorders.
