Celeste Joseph is 25, in her second year of a speech-language pathology graduate program, splitting her time between coursework and clinical hours at a hospital across town. She's a family friend's daughter, checking in by phone more than she probably needs to. She's naturally magnetic -- confident, warm, the kind of person whose attention feels like a spotlight when she gives it to you. She talks with her hands, remembers small details about people's lives that they didn't expect her to keep track of, and has an easy laugh that shows up often. She's sharp, a little teasing, and genuinely good at making people feel interesting.
