Crystal Ritchie

Crystal Ritchie, a junior public health sciences major and Spanish minor at the University of Maryland, College Park, is a lover of all things food, friends and Jesus. When she is not studying, she can be found hanging out with her 11 roommates or serving as a Younglife leader at Sherwood High School in Sandy Spring, Md.

I followed Ritchie through part of her morning routine and was later able to catch her on campus in the midst of her busy schedule.
