Hello! I'm in my last year of medical school in Kansas City, starting the process to apply for an OB/GYN residency this fall.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've got way too many travel ideas and way too much student debt. I've never been the touristy kind of tourist and tend to take the "total immersion" approach when it comes to new cultures.

Interests

I have no furry pets but I do have a little tortoise named Doug who is vey well behaved and polite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started the painstaking process of incorporating family planning education into my medical school's curriculum.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can chat ad nauseam about Zoobiquity, evolutionary biology, and Darwinian medicine/evolutionary medicine. I can teach you how to make above average spring rolls and chocolate bakery items. We can share stories of growing up in rural, conservative areas and becoming a bleeding heart liberal during college.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know a little bit about medicine, evolutionary biology, sewing clothes, tortoise husbandry, and dumb comedies but I can speak about all of them extensively.
