ABOUT ME

I double majored in International Relations and Chemistry at NYU and graduated from medical school in Virginia. Currently an emergency medicine resident at Drexel University. I'm very friendly and social, been exposed to all types of cultures and I love meeting new people and learning new things.

Right now I want to make time in my life to learn, experience, love, and appreciate new cultures, new music, and food.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone starts with 24 hours in the bank. The difference is how we use them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, but I can also teach some basic Mandarin. My biggest interest is in global health and sciences, and I love learning and teaching sciences like chemistry, physics, and biology. I also enjoy discussing politics and always love learning new perspectives from people around the world.
