I'm a 24 year old on the verge of becoming (hopefully) something great! I graduated from Pepperdine University in the spring of 2009 with a bachelors in nutritional sciences. After graduating I took 72 days off from reality and biked across the country through an organization called Bike and Build. Then I returned to SoCal to work as a diet aide at Los Robles Hospital, a front desk receptionist at a Malibu Gym, and a front desk receptionist at a physical therapy place. For the last year and a half I've been paying bills, working and renting a room out from an older woman in Calabasas, CA. I loved my life out there but I was ready for change.

About 6 months ago I applied to Ross University, a Caribbean Medical school, and got accepted! Now you are officially up to date. I'm sitting in my brand new apartment on the peaceful and beautiful eastern Caribbean island called Dominica. School starts in 3 days, and I am ready for this new and challenging adventure. I'm excited to experience the island and to learn.
