I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a medical student at Boston University. I live in Cambridge, a fifteen minute drive from campus, but might as well be on the other side of the world if you talk to my peers. I consider myself rather well-adjusted to life, especially having spent so much of my life in Plano and Provo, but I suppose you can be the judge of that. Oh yeah, and I just graduated with a degree in modern dance, so I'm kind of a movement freak. Which is why people call me a monkey. Note: Sometimes I have to remind myself life is NOT one big contact improv game; it isn't socially acceptable to climb on strangers or slightly timid friends.And just to make things a bit interesting...
