During high school I worked to earn money for college by baby-sitting and being
a nanny.  I was fortunate to be able to participate in a class trip to Chile my
senior year of high school, where I was exposed to the living conditions of
remotely located native Chileans.  This sparked my interest in world studies and
global health issues.

During college I worked as a research assistant for a major Seattle hospital
under the guidance of a research doctor.  This was mostly an unpaid effort.

I am graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in Neurobiology
and I am applying for medical school.  I am taking one year off from studying to
work in a children's hospital in Cambodia as a volunteer.  I am very committed
to helping children, particularly in under-developed areas of the world.  I am
funding my entire trip and associated expenses for this volunteer activity.  I
will return to the United States with zero funds.

I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me!

It is my intention to become a medical doctor.  I intend to work in a rural,
under-served area of the United States and also, hopefully, will be able to use
my medical skills in a developing country, at least for several years.
