CURRENT MISSION

I would like to travel and keep traveling, meeting amazing people, forming new and mind-opening connections with the world and its people.

ABOUT ME

Here's a little more about myself. I'm 35, half Guyanese and half Persian, raised in Maryland/DC, lived in Guyana for a year as a child. I went to UMaryland for undergrad, majored in French, and then next to Georgetown for med school. I'm passionate about cooking, social justice and human rights, development in Africa and Latin America, wine, playing guitar and saxophone and making electronic music, anti-human trafficking, meditation, and yoga. I've worked in Sierra Leone, and South Africa.
