*Going on hiatus until I'm done with the MCAT. Will respond again after June 20th.*

I'm truly a little bit of everything. My friends tend to describe me as a european girl disguised with an american passport - this is probably true.

My future plans involve medical school, but I currently work in medical research and academia. Saying I love to travel is an understatement. I've lived in a variety of locations, domestic and abroad, and I can seriously daydream for hours about where to go next.

I was a pretty serious athlete through college (can you guess which sport? surprise hint: not soccer or any team sports) with an affinity for ankle and knee injuries. If I had more time, I'd continue learning to play the piano. Ludovico Einaudi is my absolute favorite composer, and studying to his music got me through organic chemistry.

I am very ambitious, active, open-minded, logical, and easily amused. My pensive intellectual side definitely has an equivalent goofy match.

Currently grieving the loss of Sir Alex, Scholes, & Becks from the football world. This cruelty has to be part of some conspiracy.

- combining science and the humanities
- languages
- forgetting/losing ID's or keys
- baking delicious cookies
- making spontaneous road trips happen
- being objective and independent
- remembering obscure facts about premier league matches

Spicy food, British comedies, strong black coffee, wine & cheese, trance/house music, the Daily Show... Among other things.

Other favorites: Manchester United, Bristol City FC, cycling, the combination of mint and chocolate, learning new languages, Snoopy, theatre, classical and contemporary piano, long airplane flights, cider, sailing, exploring random places on Google Maps...

traveling, medicine, sports, opening up a bar-inspired bakery with my best friend (and all of the recipes I need to try!)

Not private, but here's a surprise: My hair is naturally blonde.

....you don't mind that I call soccer 'football'
