Hi! You can call me Alina or 筱美. I spent my first 8 years of life in Dayton, Ohio and then moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania, where I spent free time playing music, visiting friends, and running around with my younger brother. In 2015, I graduated from college and then lived in China for a year to pursue a Traditional Chinese Medicine-related cancer research project--I had some of my favorite traveling experiences while I was there. I'm currently a med student in Baltimore, and although I love living here, I try to travel whenever I get the chance! Generally, I enjoy hiking, biking, music, science, reading, and good company. I'm looking forward to meeting you!
