About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Occasional international trips

ABOUT ME

I traveled for a year after graduating from medical school and am now doing my residency in Emergency Medicine. I studied art before medical school and still work on my painting and drawing, which can be found on www.acabello.net. I am a jack of all trades and have a big appetite for learning.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live by the foma that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy."
