Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.
ABOUT ME
Passionate and loyal to traveling. I am an adventurous individual, loving to explore and try new things. I tend to reflect and write a lot about life. I am deeply involved with music and in love with the many emotions it brings to my life..I'm one lucky gal.
I hope to travel to all the corners of the world. I lived in Africa which has inspired me to work as a nurse promoting health in under-served communities. For the time being, I work the adult health float pool at the University of Arizona Medical Center. Gaining clinical experience so that I may travel abroad to promote health among the most vulnerable. My dream job is working for the WHO. If anyone has any info/connections, I would love to learn more. :)
PHILOSOPHY
"Traveling is the only thing you buy, that makes you richer"
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I will always enjoy my time at Havasupai in the Grand Canyon. The beautiful waterfalls were absolutely breathtaking and the weather was perfect. Another amazing experience was scuba diving with seals in San Carlos, Mexico. Rafting the Nile River was the most thrilling and adrenaline-rushing adventure in my life.
Lastly, after a six day climb, making it to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, 19320 ft high, was the most exhilerating rewarding experience. On top of the world.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have volunteered with local Tucson refugees from around the world, particularly Congolese and Somalis. The refugees are new to America so I teach a class to help them understand the American healthcare system. I am also a medical advocate and guide the refugees to seek the very best medical care in the community.
