I love traveling to learn about different cultures and connect with interesting people. I have lived in China through a study abroad program, and in Moldova serving as a Health Education Volunteer in the Peace Corps. 

I’m a bookworm and you will most likely find me with kindle in hand. Please feel free to send book recommendations or amazon gift cards for more books! Some of my favorite genres include historical fiction, memoir, anything related to public/global health, social issues, etc. 

I am also a self identified ‘foodie’. One of the great joys in my life is discovering delicious food and sharing a meal with others. I tend to gravitate towards savory comfort foods like ramen, pho, dumplings, sundubu-jjigae, hot pot, chicken marsala, and beef stroganoff.
