      I recently became a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant. I'm excited to work as a SLPA as a stepping stone to my long-term goal of getting a Master's and becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist. I love children because of always being around younger cousins, so I'm super excited to work with them. I love Bollywood since I grew up watching it in the 90s and in my free time I enjoy watching movies and TV (on Netflix and cable); basically I love the big screen. I enjoy reading as well, but have many unfinished books in my collection. I value respect and equality. Although I'm more candid with my friends, I'm close to my immediate and extended family, and I would consider myself family-oriented (lol). My friends describe me as friendly and sociable, but I think I'm more outgoing after I become comfortable with someone. I like to travel and explore nature spots. I love the beach a little more than I love the mountains.

I have a younger sister and a younger brother. My family is Indian, Hyderabadi to be specific, and I take pride in that LOL. I was born in Saudi Arabia, grew up in Canada, and moved back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean before settling on the Pacific Coast. I love California, and after living here for almost 10 years, I consider it my permanent home. 

It's hard for me to describe myself more specifically, but I'm willing to answer more questions.
