CURRENT MISSION

Before I get serious with life... I'm going to get ridiculous first...

ABOUT ME

I've studied in school for many years chasing my dream of becoming a doctor. I have finally been accepted by a medical school and couldn't be happier with it.

Right now, however, I'm not ready to start the rest of my life. I feel I haven't seen or experienced much in the world and there's a voice inside that is screaming to get out. I need the adventure, I need to know more about myself and the rest of the world before I can get serious.

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop learning... about myself, about other people, about the science of our world. When I stop learning, that's when life is truly over.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I live in the United States where health care resources seem abundant but are wasted everyday by inefficient practices. I spent little over a week in Central American, out in the country where there is literally no modern civilization meaning no access to health care. As part of mobile medical team of 20, I spent my week hiking around the Guatemalan jungle providing the native residents with basic primary health care.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belize, Canada, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
