I recently graduated from medical school and started psychiatry residency. I work full time so can only host occasionally.

I chose my field because I think there are a lot of interesting things to think about regarding the mind and cognition, neuroscience, and psychopharmacology. My experiences have led me to want to help reverse the trend of worsening mental health throughout the world. I believe a large component of that problem is the culture and society we live in and that is something to think about and change also. There are ways to improve the human condition and the welfare of the planet, and maybe we all need to understand ourselves and our ecology better to do so, or continue to advance our biological understanding of the brain until we invent a drug that works miracles and makes us all happy, healthy, ethical, and hard working robots :-)

In summary, though I’m a hard-working science minded doctor, I’d say I’m pretty well rounded and like to do things outdoors, exercise, travel, enjoy food, all the arts, meet new people from different countries, climates, hear their stories and range of experiences.

if you have any curiosity about allopathic medicine I can tell you about it. I like learning about European history.

Also would like to learn more instruments, incl guitar. Sing a song. Do a crazy dance.
