I'm currently a med student in Tel Aviv, though before my current life I've also been a public health professional in Africa and South Asia, as well as a Peace Corps Volunteer.

I like to bake. I like to take photos. I like to travel and do some good along the way. Oh, and I also like my dog, Toobab The Wonder Dog.

"One more service we dare to ask-
Pray for us, heros, pray
That when fate lays on us our task
we do not shame the day" - Kipling
