I am a grad student pursuing a career in clinical nutrition research. In my spare time I enjoy backpacking, road trips, cooking and volunteering. I love travel, learning new things, gaining new experiences, and hearing other people's stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

A little bit of everything but generally the older stuff - when it comes to music I enjoy anything from classical and opera to country music and Persian rap. Favorite movies include Arsenic and Old Lace, North by Northwest, and Caddyshack. Unfortunately I haven't had as much time to read lately but thoroughly enjoyed The Count of Monte Cristo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paddle-boarding off the coast of Cinque Terre, Italy - got a clear view of the beautiful coastline and jellyfish beside my feet.
