Don't let failure define you. Let it refine you. Learn to fail forward.

About Me

What up myspace - a little about myself, 29 year old working as a contract CRA for numerous Biotech/Pharmaceutical companies in the US. Work mostly on oncology trials.Graduated in December 07 and obtained my RN license in February 08. Unfortunately I don't have time to pursue an RN position but will maintain my license so one day I can practice nursing on a partime basis. Hopefully one day I will be able to join the World Health Organization so that I can live out my dream of practicing nursing and contracting as a CRA between the states and the lovely island of Barbados!

I'd like to meet:

Idris Elba - I love that man!Angelina Jolie - call me obsessed!Romeo Dallaire (Commander of UN "Peacekeeping" force in Rwanda during the genocide) - "I blame the American leadership, which includes the Pentagon, in projecting itself as the world policeman one day and a recluse the next." Thank you for all that you tried to do. You were given an impossible task to stop the slaughter of thousands of Rwandans with only 500 men. You didn't give up when all hope was lost, even though it almost destroyed your life! Your story inspired me and made me think twice before complaining about stupid things that really don't matter. To all those that lost their lives in Rwanda and continue to loose their lives in genocide worldwide - RIP!
