I'm a natural networker, patient listener, and jolly polyglot.

Hablo español al 100%. Ich kann fließend deutsch.

I grew up in Houston, graduated from SJS then Tulane (European History) then UAG for my MD.

I am currently leading a regional revolution in education for patients with either diabetes or hypertension. Empowering patients (through leveraged technology that provides consistent communication, education & reassurance from trained nurses) saves lives. I seek to slow the chain reaction of these epidemics.

V I V A COUCHSURFING!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's an amazing opportunity to expand one's horizons.

I adore the quirky people that make Couchsurfing a reality. Travel truly enriches the soul in the same way music expands the mind.

Routine stiffly stultifies.

I am on Couchsurfing principally to meet up with cool folks who can show me around the places they love.

Interests

Medicine, social justice, technology, legislative advocacy, mental health, learning languages, and loving life.

I am especially interested in leveraging technology to improve outcomes amongst lower income patients.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived abroad as an exchange student in Germany.

All my classes were in German. It was a challenge to master German.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: cooking; languages; the importance of being earnest

Learn: I'm happy to be an eternal student

Share: Chanel makes outstanding cologne for men because it is essentially the only product they make for XY

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great stories; belly laughs; food; free (medical) advice
