I'm a full-time graduate student looking for occasional work. I attend WVU where I am pursuing my MD in hopes of becoming an emergency medicine pediatrician one day! My availability is somewhat limited, so one-time or date night jobs work best. I also have my EMT certification and, most importantly, I love working with kids!
