CURRENT MISSION

Grow, learn and explore. Enjoy new experiences with new people.

ABOUT ME

In May 2009, I finished up my undergraduate degree at Rutgers University in New Jersey and decided I needed a change. I moved across the country and am currently a graduate student in Genetic Counseling at UC Irvine.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to make a difference in the world while the world challenges me to grow.

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
