+Thank you to J for agreeing to answer a few questions that will allow us to get to know the player behind Doctor G'Renn a little better!:
+'''<font color="#350069">How did you end up at StarBase 118?</font>'''
+I stumbled upon the wiki purely by accident, and I was intrigued. I had never really done anything like Starbase 118 before. But, after doing some digging on the wiki and seeing more I decided to give it a chance. Nearly a year and a half later and I’m still here.
+'''<font color="#350069">What is your favourite part of StarBase 118? People? Places? Tech? Roles? Ships?</font>'''
+My favorite part of Starbase 118 is definitely all the great people I’ve met here. Without other people collaborative writing doesn’t go very far. Luckily I think that we have an incredible and supportive group of writers who make writing here so rewarding.
+'''<font color="#350069">Delving into your character, Anath G’Renn, would you tell us a little about how you developed her?</font>'''
+My first thought when I was considering a character was to have a Vulcan medical officer. However, I was worried about my ability to convincingly pull of a Vulcan character. Because of that I decided to add in something to make her a bit more expressive and emotional.
+My first thought was half-Human, but I wanted to try something really outside the box. In addition to making it easier to write for Anath the duality also provided a natural path for character progression as she struggles to balance two polar opposite natures.
+'''<font color="#350069">Anath has developed wonderfully during your time with StarBase 118. Where you see you Anath going in her career in Starfleet?</font>'''
+I’m not entirely sure what Anath’s future career holds. Maybe she’s destined for command some day, or her place could still be in sickbay where she started. Regardless of what she’s doing concern for the well-being of her crewmates will be a constant in her career.
+'''<font color="#350069">Do you have any advice for aspiring medical officers?</font>'''
+Find what drives your character to be a doctor. Being a medical officer is a career path that is incredibly challenging from start to finish. Even entering the profession requires years of schooling, and the job provides no shortage of stress. That isn’t something that somebody puts themself through without a good reason. Character motivation is key.
+'''<font color="#350069">As the latest recipient of the Russ Bar combined with your performance at the recent Trivia Contest,  it is evident you know your Trek. What was is that got you into Star Trek in the first place?</font>'''
+Science fiction has always been one of my favorite genres, just as science was always my favorite school subject. I think that when I first saw an episode of the original show with my dad I was impressed most with the optimistic outlook on the future. It was probably the first fictional world I really wanted to live in. Not only did it provide an interesting stage for the main plot of each episode, the world itself was just such an appealing and well-built view on the potential future (minus a few instances of really bending the laws of science).
+'''<font color="#350069">Do you have a favourite line or phrase from the shows and why?</font>'''
+''“Genius doesn't work on an assembly line basis. Did Einstein, Kazanga or Sitar of Vulcan produce new and revolutionary theories on a regular schedule? You can't simply say, 'Today I will be brilliant.’”'' is a quote I’ve always appreciated. When I’m working on a project and feel upset with myself for being unable to find an answer right away that quote reminds me that stressing about deadlines doesn’t foster inventive answers.
+'''<font color="#350069">Other than writing with us, what is one your favourite hobbies?</font>'''
+I absolutely love to read! I enjoy reading anything from classic literature to informative non-fiction. When the Texas weather is manageable I also enjoy going for walks and just letting my mind wander for a while.
