CURRENT MISSION

I would like to explore new places and connect with wonderful people across the globe.

ABOUT ME

I am currently studying veterinary medicine at the Ohio State University. 12 years ago my family and I immigrated to the United States from the Netherlands and have traveled lots between the United States and Europe since then. This year I want to see some of the things this great country has to offer- in March my friend and I roadtripped from Denver to San Diego and back, and this summer I am doing a series of veterinary externships in NM, CO, and NE.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the Romance of the unusual." -Ernest Hemingway
