About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To help out a few lowly travelers in Montana and eventually travel more

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26-year-old college student currently working on my fourth year of medical school in Michigan. I'm applying to residency programs in Family Medicine and am excited to start my training.
I'm a very nice person unless I'm annoyed but fortunately that doesn't happen often. I make it a point to try and get along with everyone and if you put some effort into getting to know me, I'll put some in too. I love to hear peoples' stories and I ask a lot of questions. I really like to laugh and joke around and I'm only serious if I have to be.
I love to socialize and be around people but I also really appreciate being alone. Some nights, all I want to do is go out and dance and other nights where I want to lay in bed and read without talking to anyone.

PHILOSOPHY

It's just not that serious.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied abroad in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for a few months in college. It was the first time I had ever left the U.S. and I absolutely loved it! I met a bunch of amazing people, saw some really cool things and learned a ton.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I could teach you all about human biology! Interesting fact: the scientific name for your butt crack is the intergluteal cleft!
Learn: I would love to learn how to play an instrument but haven't taken the initiative to learn yet.
Share: I'll share my food with you if you share with me :) Also knowledge of biology.
