I was a medic in the US Army for 11 years with multiple combat deployments. I left the army at the end of 2011to pursue education and a career in healthcare/medicine. I am a clinical laboratory scientist and a molecular biologist. When I am not busy working, I enjoy playing the guitar, volunteering, hanging out with friends and family, eating at ethnic restaurants, discussing politics and world affairs. I also enjoy learning about new cultures. Overall, I am very open-minded with diverse interests.
