I would describe myself as a calm, easy-going introvert bordering on ambivert tendencies. I have a fun-loving, optimistic and cheerful demeanor and am always curious to learn about the workings of the world. I particularly enjoy reading books and hanging out with friends to discuss anything under the sun over good food and chai… or any food or dessert, in general. 
Religion and spirituality grounds me as a person. Practicing my religion gives me perspective and keeps me in check when it comes to all matters in daily life. 
My personal values center strongly around compassion and equity. In the work I’m involved with and in my personal life, I carry a strong sense of empathy for everyone around me and I believe, understanding people from their perspective is necessary for any relationship. I also believe in giving back to people and my community, whether it be through work or volunteer activities, big or small. Giving back to the community is my way to express thanks for all that I have in my life.
