I am a Surgeon in training living in Boston. I grew up in Bangladesh before moving to the US to start college. I lived around the San Francisco Bay Area through undergrad and medical school and moved to Boston in 2015 to start training. My parents still live in Bangladesh, and I hope when they feel ready, would move to the US to live with me and my future partner. I'm a practicing muslimah with what I'd like to think as an overall liberal outlook, and do wear a hijab. I like the outdoors and hike and bike frequently. I like to play volleyball and badminton, and fence. I enjoy art and find it invigorating and engaging to visit exhibits, the symphony, musicals, etc. I like to paint, sketch and do calligraphy myself. Am generally quite social and while I can get along with people easily, also have a smaller, close group of friends I confide in. While it may be somewhat cliche, but I enjoy food and cooking and like to explore restaurants and host friends over good food and company.
