Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Survive residency, become a rheumatologist, and build a community in VT!
ABOUT ME
I'm an internal medicine resident at UVM living in Burlington, VT. I've lived around the world in Ecuador, Chile, Norway, and Italy. I love traveling and meeting people, cooking with them and for them, and learning about new places. I make a lot of bread and love to share my skills! I love walking of all kinds, in cities and on mountains. I also ski, bike, and swim.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in a world where people have access to health and nourishing (physically, mentally, and socially) food and I want to help people in those two ways.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've been on Couchsurfing since 2011 and I've stayed with many people around the world. I have hosted some people as well and met incredible people!
