More specifically, I would love to pursue cardiothoracic surgery or trauma surgery. Im a 2LT medical student in the U.S Army and I will be a CPT. upon graduating. I love doing medical research and am currently doing sleep medicine/plastic surgery research at Harvard Medical School and Scleroderma Research at CU Denver Health Sciences.

My plans are to do externships at Harvard Medical School and Johns Hopkins in either autoimmune diseases or surgical patient safety research.I am getting married may 22nd 2009 and my fiance and I are just so excited to get that underway! we would like to start having kids soon after that when life starts getting settled in (I hope we have a little girl first!). i love big families and im a sucker for family moments and get togethers.
