About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adventure; new experience; embrace every moment, whatever it brings.

ABOUT ME

I just finished medical school, which means I'm officially a doctor (terrifying). But as "adult" as my professional life becomes, I will never give up my drive to seek adventure, explore, and get my hands dirty sometimes. I just got back from an epic trip to South Africa, Mozambique, and Lesotho. The highs, lows, adventure, and surprises of traveling are what keep me going, and I can't wait to get back on the road.

I've gotten to live all over the US.... LA, San Francisco, Boston, and now moving back to the West Coast (best coast) to Seattle!

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
