CURRENT MISSION
Eat. Everything.
ABOUT ME
Born in Vietnam. Currently, I'm in med school at LSU in New Orleans, which is exciting as it is an assload of work. But it's not the same kind of excitement I feel when I find myself in a situation that I've never been in before. Going to a new place, meeting new people, having that slight feeling of not being entirely comfortable. It's unsettling and awesome. I find that those are the experiences worth living for, and it's the people that you meet and the lifestyle that comes with those experiences that intrigue me.
Besides that, I enjoy trying every possible food there is.
In short: I'm always hungry, and I enjoy snowboarding and some medical mumbo jumbo on the side.
PHILOSOPHY
"The impediment to action advances action." This quote is by Marcus Aurelius, one of the major proponents of Stoicism, a philosophy that's taught me that every problem faced is an opportunity to learn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Nailing the biggest jumps in Mammoth during my stint as a snowboard bum was one of the most amazing things I've been able to do. Also, thoroughly enjoyed not dying on said jumps.
