Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Traveling through Europe in July with my sister Katie!
ABOUT ME
I'm originally from Memphis, TN. I went to undergrad in Boston, spent a year in DC doing research at the NIH, and an currently back in Memphis preparing for my first trip to Europe! This August, I'm starting an MD-PhD program, probably for biomedical engineering.
I've been to Canada and South America but never to Europe, Asia, or Africa and would love to travel to these places. I love good food, friends, music, cool architecture, and art. I'm a huge nerd and love science, history, literature, and social sciences.
PHILOSOPHY
More than anything else, I believe people should be true to themselves - you only have one life and should really think about your goals and passions and pursue them. Family, friends, relationships are a top priority to me - people matter so much than money/power/things.
