About Me

I am an optimistic, fun-loving gal, currently in Charlottesville, Virginia. I graduated from UC Davis in 2002 with a degree in Biological Sciences, and took a year off to work and travel. I ended up moving to Oahu for a few months before moving out to the East Coast. I had spent my entire life in Northern California, and just wanted a new experience. I just graduated from medical school at the University of Virginia (May 20, 2007). I am getting married to a wonderful man named Luis in October. I'll spend the next year in Charlottesville waiting for Luis to finish his program and then I'll start a family medicine residency. It's a little scary how fast the years go. My family lives in Sacramento, CA. I miss them and my old friends, and love going back to visit.

My Interests

I love to travel! I've been to Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Paris, London, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Beijing, Narita and Tokyo, Costa Rica, and all over the US. There are so many more places I want to visit!I love to cook and I love to bake. It may have to do with the fact that I love to eat yummy food. I enjoy trying new cuisines and new restaurants.I enjoy new experiences and meeting new people. From sharing a studio in Waikiki Beach for a few months, to living with a family in Costa Rica, with cold water showers and interesting pets, to packing up and moving cross country, I've met a lot of amazing and interesting people over the years. I love being active, but I can't say that I'm crazy about the humidity in the summer or the cold in the winter (unless I'm skiing or sledding). I enjoy the gym, running, dancing, hiking, surfing (well, attempting to surf), fishing, kayaking, and the list could go on. I enjoy sports; soccer is definitely my favorite. I wish I was better at golf. As much as I love being active, I also love downtime. I love days spent in pjs. I like curling up with a good book or snuggling and watching a movie. I think that's the perfect way to spend a rainy day.
