About Me

Hi All,

I'm 27. Raised by a Canadian Mother and a South African father. Having done a lot of traveling with them as a kid, I have a deep interest in culture and in the radical disparities of power and resources in the world.

I'm now a medical student in Rhode Island. I will finish next year and begin working as a resident specializing in Emergency medicine.

I hope to meet people from around the world in order to aggregate their understandings of how to make this a better place.

Hola a Todos,

Soy criado por un Mama Canadience y un papa sudafricano. Tambien you viajaba mucho cuando era nino. Ambos de estos hechos me dieron un buen interes en otras culturas y ayudando a corregir las grandes diferencias de poder, salud y education en el mundo.

Ahorita soy un estudiante de medicina en Rhode Island. Voy a terminar el este año y comenzar a trabajar como residente especializado en medicina de emergencia .

Yo espero conocer personas de otro lados del mundo para juntar sus interpretacions sobre como mejorar el mundo.
