She wears black-framed glasses, a black top with a University of Maryland Medical System logo on the right sleeve, black pants, and dark-patterned shoes. In the background, another person wears a medical mask standing near a tall black banner that reads “PRE-SCREENING” in large yellow letters. The banner has additional text, but it is not fully visible in the photograph.
