ABOUT ME

Herro! n__n

My goals in life are to prevent vision loss and blindness globally, share my love of trance music with as many people as possible, and explore the world with Alex. :3

I traveled to New York at the end of January 2014 to check out an optometry school (SUNY) I'm planning on applying to in the future. I'd also like to visit South Korea in the spring of 2016.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the Postal Service in Berkeley in July 2013. What a dream come true!

I hiked up Half Dome in Yosemite in late June 2014. It was the most challenging hike I've ever done, but definitely the most rewarding!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to use a high resolution non-mydriatic fundus camera to capture retinal photographs. o_O I can also teach you how to identify diabetic lesions on those retinal photos.
