CURRENT MISSION

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”

ABOUT ME

An old soul who has a bit of wander lust. I'm probably not who most people expect me to be.

Worked in genetic sequencing and decided to go back to school to become a physician. Now I am doing a fellowship in Medical Genetics at UCLA.

I tend to see the good in people, for better or worse.

Pretty easy going and I get along with most people. Although I'm more on the reserved side, I enjoy a good sense of humor -- tending more towards wit, sarcasm, and satire.

Would love to explore what the world has to offer!

PHILOSOPHY

if your dreams do not scare you, they're not big enough
