Getting to Know Dr. Collins

Birthplace: Philadelphia, PA
High School: Germantown Friends School
Activities: reading, cooking, baking, knitting, movies, napping
Movies: The Princess Bride, This is Spinal Tap, Monty Python everything, Love Actually
Favorite Restaurant: whichever one I am currently in
What I like best about Portland: First and foremost, probably Powell’s. Well, that and the relaxed attitudes most everywhere. I love going to the symphony and seeing people in formal wear next to people in jeans, and no one cares. There are also so many great restaurants and places to go, all accessible but none obligatory. It’s an easy place to live.
