About Steve

I am a third-year medical student at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a B.A. in molecular cell biology (cell & developmental biology), and a B.A. in computer science with honors.

In the short term, I'm studying for the USMLE step 2 board exam. I begin M.B.A. work at UC Irvine's Merage School of Business in 2010. In the long term, I will practice medicine in California, Oregon, or Washington.

I'm interested in...

  • health information technology and applications towards improving doctor-doctor and patient-doctor communications
  • virtual reality, game, and entertainment applications towards health
  • visual communication and design
  • neurology, psychiatry and family medicine.

I enjoy...

  • reading business books and art magazines
  • sipping Javakula drinks at Borders
  • exercising and bicycling
  • people watching on OCTA bus route 57 and the Metrolink Inland Empire-Orange County Line
  • playing Nintendo DS games

In a former life...
