Eating disordered people are brilliant. We simultaneously juggle our work, education, and social lives with a tiny calculator running 24/7 in the back of our heads. I met many brilliant individuals while in treatment and often sufferers of eating disorders grew up with an incessant need to be considered "perfect" at one thing or another. I will be using my time to discuss how healing it is to open your mind, and to consider yourself not just imperfect, but beautifully flawed. My name is Caitlyn Haponik and I am a current 3rd year at Georgia Tech studying Environmental Engineering and Economics. I am specifically interested in manufacturing and minimizing the environmental impact of production while maximizing profit. Additionally, I have a separate focus on mental health and nutritional education. I have struggled with an eating disorder throughout my young adulthood and am looking forward toward advocacy and education as I continue upon my journey to full recovery.
