About Me

I'm currently a 4th year medical student in Guadalajara, Jalisco. I'm thinking of specializing in family medicine or internal medicine. I would also like to pursue a degree in public health and combine the two degrees in my career. Am interested in doing part-time volunteer medical work (like medical mission trips to Spanish speaking countries).

My Interests

Running, the outdoors (camping, hiking), my church activities

Music:

Depends on my mood. I enjoy classical, jazz, some rock and alternative (U2, Dido, Bonnie Rait, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and recently added to the list are Cold Play and Eagle Eye Cherry), and when I'm in the mood, Garth Brooks or Lyle Lovett. Also since I'm in Mexico I've gotten into some of the Latin rock (Cafe Tacuba, Joaquin Sabina, Miguel Bose, La Oreja de Van Gogh, Shakira's older stuff, etc)

Movies:

All time favorite that I could watch over and over again (and have!) is The Dead Poets' Society. Second favorite is probably The Godfather, Part 1. Also like stupid-funny movies. Last best one: American Pie - The Wedding. I don't do very well with action movies. Have problems following the ever-changing plot so I get really bored. I also tend to like movies that don't always have a happy, neatly-tied up Hollywood ending...so this often includes independent and foreign films.

Books:

Lately I've gotten into non-fiction reading. A favorite author of mine is Phillip Yancey (The Jesus I Never Knew, Disappointment With God).
