Justine

I was born in Fairfax, Virginia and later moved to Washington State at the age of two where I currently live near Seattle. Sports that I have been involved in include figure skating, tennis, volleyball, and dance. My other hobbies include traveling and my interest in dining.

Due to my interest in medicine, I am very passionate in helping other in terms of providing health care needs. Project CURA had really attracted me due to its goals of providing health care as well as health education/primary prevention, which I feel is really important. This trip not only allows us to provide health care but to immerse ourselves within the cultures of the people who live in Cambodia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. This trip will allow us all to broaden our perspectives on life to better understand the diversity of individuals that we will be serving in our future.

Overall, I chose CURA for the hopes of gaining knowledge of what is out there in other countries, of the culture of other countries, and also of medical knowledge. I believe that my desire to help others, to act as a leader and an educator, and to pursue my interest in the sciences has motivated me with the enthusiasm and the determination to become a great physician.
