CURRENT MISSION

gypsy masquerading as doctor, trying to stay put long enough to get these babies born, so I can be off again ...

ABOUT ME

I love to dance, read, cook, write, spend time with friends, meet new people, and work for what I believe in- justice and health for all people everywhere- while enjoying life and exploring the world. I tend to spend my life seeking, always, and trying to grow, to enjoy life, seek meaning,promote justice and well-being, and create, learn, give, find the humor in everything. in life I always look for the opportunities to grow to learn to live to love to explore to give- to be as fully in any moment as possible, good bad or indifferent. I'm in medicine, which tests your limits, but is also extremely rewarding. I tend to have a beautifully intense life, full of friends and a wonderful family and ideas and projects and dance and writing and poetry..

PHILOSOPHY

When dancing salsa, it is not possible to be hoochier than thou.

I will not be oppressed when I dance.

live. love. work. enjoy. repeat....

Teach, Learn, Share

I grew up in a home that was always filled with an array of more or less "couchsurfers"- we were always hosting exchange students- from Japan, Germany, Spain, Jamaica, Switzerland, Brazil, South Africa...the list goes on and on- many of these visits blossomed into lifelong friendships- and they definitely lit the fire under my ass to get out there and travel myself!
