I am from Arlee, Montana and my interests include watching and playing organized sports such as football and baseball. I also enjoy getting out and enjoying the outdoors by taking camping and backpacking trips. I chose to pursue a career in medicine because the processes of the human body have always fascinated me and I wanted work in a field where I could use that knowledge to help improve other people’s lives. Currently, I am not fully decided on the specialty I want to choose, but I am thinking about Family Medicine because I like the idea of being able to work in a small town setting and want to be able to develop a long-term relationship with my patients. CURA intrigued me because it is similar to a few service trips I have been involved with in the past. I have gone to Honduras and Haiti for week long trips and I wanted to participate in a trip where I could experience an entirely new culture and area in the world.
