I am the person who will be making faces with a child at the park and stopping to talk with the elderly person at the street corner. Full disclosure: I pet dogs too. Meeting new people and reconnecting with old friends gives me so much joy. I especially love inviting friends and family over to share a meal I’ve prepared. (Humble brag - my chicken casserole is on point. Not to mention the Nutella stuffed cookies hehehe.) The outdoors are my calling! I’ve been spoiled to live around hiking trails and take every opportunity to find a new trail on my travels. To-date, the best has been the Chimgan mountains in Uzbekistan! If I’m not travelling or outdoors, a book or podcast is my jam. I value the time I get to spend learning more about Islam. In between having all this fun, I sometimes spend time rounding on patients in the hospital, hearing their life stories, and trying to alleviate their struggles.
