Hi there! My name is Alex. I am an engineer, an aspiring doctor, a practicing yogi, a Veep-watcher and an avid NPR-listener. Hands down my favorite food is seafood, and I equally enjoy listening to Kendrick, Sufjan, Odesza, Ben Folds and This American Life.

I recently quit my job doing research at Harvard and am starting medical school in the fall. 🏻‍⚕️
