CURRENT MISSION

I want to explore the world, meet new people, and have fun. And I am training to fix children's hearts as a future heart surgeon.

ABOUT ME

I'm generally a hard working, focused individual who has devoted much of my life to helping other people out with whatever gifts I have. I love meeting new people with fresh perspectives different from my own. I am a great listener.

PHILOSOPHY

When I visit a new place, I prefer visiting the local scenes rather than the popular tourist attractions. They express more about a place's history and culture.

Interests

I love hiking, swimming, camping, beer, going out, and especially adventuring in new places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built a home for a family in Manila.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sometimes, very rarely, children are born with a missing part of their heart, called the ventricle. This part of the heart pumps blood to the body, so without it, a baby can't survive for long. We do a surgical procedure called the Fontan procedure to help these babies live to adulthood. If you are fascinated by this, ask me more :)
