I’m going to Paris. For 2 months. Three years ago I started taking really big risks. I was working 12hr nights shifts as a pediatric psych specialist and trying to figure out how I was going to get into med school.

Whether I was sleeping in my car, in the airport, or on a couch, it was all worthwhile and I’d do it all again. Slide 8 is me walking through Portland in the middle of the night in 2021 because I could only afford a Lyft for half the distance. I had a lot of help along the way. It’s not possible to do this on your own. Thank you to everyone that has taken a chance on me so far.
