Brief Profile: I'm an artistic-type person. I hope to see myself living in a high energy, dense city, where there are multitudes of experiences to be had and a great diversity of people I can encounter, work with and help. I've wanted to work in the healthcare field since I was very young, influenced at first by my father who is a physician, but also felt pulled to fine art by my mother, a fine artist. I did not choose to apply to medical school until I was absolutely certain this was the right path for me. In short I believe in the power of good health to transform lives in terms of life quality and fulfillment, and I find the greatest personal joy and livelihood in giving to others my time, energy and skills to achieve greater quality of life. I cannot imagine myself willfully working for any other endeavor. I hope to find my own niche in the healthcare field, where my work can be unique, significant, and appreciated by many people.
