CURRENT MISSION

Being more kind and open to new experiences. I want to provide health care to marginalized populations, working in communities with poor or inadequate services.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently a third year medical student in the States. I try to travel when I have the chance (and resources). I love to eat and will try anything at least once, unless it's endangered or a dog.

PHILOSOPHY

Just keep an open mind . . .
