About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To keep up with my studies to become a Doctor whilst keeping spontaneity in my life.
ABOUT ME
Enjoy life as much as possible and help others along the way...I think this philosophy suits me well.
Im bounding with energy and enthusiasm, trying to spark happiness from every situation. But Im also a thinker, a lot of my passions are about politics, human rights and the environment.
Medicine for me is a lot more than a career.
I love: Silly games, dancing away and never stopping, family, good mates, parks, trees, being free, sarcasm, hitch-hiking, sport, sport sport, cooking, being in the wild, meeting new people who I know I can learn from, deep conversations, drama, diablo and TRAVELLING...this is the way to experience what the world has to offer.
PHILOSOPHY
Live life to its fullest. Enjoy and take every opportunity that comes your way.

Beuna Vista Social Club and salsa music in general, seeing my sister sing Jazz, Roots Manuva, Coldplay, Bonobo, Bon Iver and anything that makes me want to dance!
Books... Kite Runner, Mountains Beyond Mountains, three cups of tea, Northern Lights and the occasional adventure thriller that keeps me page turning.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Worked as a Health Educator in a rural village in Tanzania for 8 months. Involved deeply in the emotive issues and problems surrounding the community in particular HIV. Through teaching in schools, festivals and football we raised awareness, taught prevention and provided support for those who needed it. An experience that has influenced me in every way.
