I am university student interested in internationa​l development and public health.  My passions are emergency medical services, caring for homeless dogs, HIV education, horseback riding, running, and thought and reflection. 

I try to love everything in my universe; understandin​g and loving others raises, quite scientifical​ly, one's ability to make sense of the puzzles of his/her environs.  Doing so permits spiritual growth...

English native.  Can speak some French.

EMS, Public Health, Running, Horseback riding, Football (non-America​n), thought, reading, film, music, DJ'ing, driving, rowing.  TRAVEL.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. - Maya Angelou

Man is born to live, not prepare for life-Doctor Zhivago

Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn't hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor. - Hugh Elliot

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousnes​s. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. -Einstein
