Overview
About Me
Just a Los Angeles Native living her best life in Spain! Passionate about public health and finding a cure for diabetes. Starting medical school in a year, so I figured I'd travel and see the world before I dedicate the rest of my life to my studies. I spend my free time near large bodies of water and doing sportsy things. I exercise to eat more calories. A perfect day for me is great food, chocolate, and a lot of adventure (nature, hiking, etc.) I absolutely love to run, so if you're down for a morning run across the city, I'm your gal!
La vida es corta y hay que vivir la :)

Music, Movies, and Books
MUSIC: R and B (old school 90's soul music), Reggaeton and Hip-Hop (Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and 2008-2015 Drake). I love Jazz as well; I actually try to go to a concert or club in each city I visit!
BOOKS: Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz, The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander, and any other book that gives me a greater perspective on how to address society's ills.
MOVIES: Rush Hour, White Chicks and The Incredibles

Got stranded on Cies islands in Spain, and made it out in one peace.
Jumped out of a plane in Portugal.
Paragliding in Bilbao, Spain.
