i'm a girl of the woods

i love life and i love new challenges. i study study study all day because i'm an undergrad in human biology at stanford, and i want to study study study for a few years more as i pursue a master's degree in public health and an MD.

as a college junior, i took the reins in organizing a leadership conference for pilipino high school youth that attracted 3 big-name performing artists, 10 speakers, and 100 high school students.

i have worked abroad in ecuador and the philippines with kids from 4-16 years of age. i worked night and day with an international team of students to prevent and educate a local slum population about gastrointestinal worms, light fires of community welfare and social justice, and help working children reclaim their childhoods.

i passionately consume music, digital art, and delicacies of every variety (hold the okra!). with a traveler's soul, a volunteer's heart, and a smile on my face, i am ready for whatever adventures life sends me!
