CURRENT MISSION

To keep my head on straight while school keeps me busy and buried in studies.

ABOUT ME

I am a student at the University of Washington studying medicine in the midst of my fourth year, so the light at the tunnel is getting brighter daily. I'm traveling for interviews to internal medicine residency programs around the country, hence why I'm contacting you! I've been living in Seattle for seven years and though the rain does annoy me more often than not, its still a nice city with amazing mountains, islands and other natural wonders to explore. Otherwise, school keeps me pretty busy, but I got after mountain biking again this summer and love shredding the single track.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, and let live. What goes around comes around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The blue of the Mediterranean Sea and the lushness of the rain forest of Puerto Rico will forever linger with me. Also, paragliding in the French Alps was an amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share
