ABOUT ME

pre-med post bacc at Baylor college of medicine in Houston, and I spent a lot of time in Austin too. I am vegan (freegan), I like reading, exercise, nutrition, dumpster diving, meeting new people, learning new things, and I love traveling.

I enjoy being a non-consumer, outdoors, sports, games, reading, learning, being healthy, triathlon, basketball, canoeing, cliff jumping, basically all sports.
