About Me

I’m a California native who can’t quite decide where I want to be or where I want to go. For now, you’ll find me stateside, surviving emergency medicine residency. But in the process of figuring it all out (and determination to not lose my youth to medicine), I’ve found myself in all sorts of places, from things I probably wouldn’t do again (like hitchhiking in Albania, couch-surfing in Spain, getting my glasses stolen by monkeys in Myanmar), to backpacking through 14 countries, to global health work, and finally to those bucket list experiences that remind me of what a privilege it is to be able to see the world as I have.

All that to say that I wanted a place and a space to store a curated selection of the many photos that never made it out of my phone. And so here we are.
