Currently a medical student at the Medical University of South Carolina. I'm hoping to use my medical training to go back abroad and work in the type of underserved communities that have taken me in over the years.

I spent two years living in a mud hut in rural Zambia, teaching fish-farming, taught high school in Sierra Leone during the Ebola epidemic, and have travelled and worked all throughout the Middle East.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
