About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Everyday I wake up and think about what I can do to make the world a better place (poco a poco). I want to travel to every country in the world, meet people from every culture, speak every language, and translate that knowledge into something useful

ABOUT ME

I love bikes, ultimate frisbee, music, speaking new languages, meeting new people, learning and participating in different cultures, and I try my best to have the smallest ecological footprint (via being a vegetarian, etc.)

I'm currently applying to schools to receive an MPH in Global Health/Infectious Disease.
