I'm a 25-year-old internal medicine resident born and raised in the Midwest, from a highly educated, moderately religious Sunni Muslim family. I consider myself a pretty cheerful person, and laid-back though hardworking. I love spending time with my family (especially my siblings), and the combination of service and problem-solving that is my job. In my free time, I love traveling and exploring new places, especially historical cities, with my all-time favorites being Granada and Venice. As a member of a foodie family, I also enjoy trying out new recipes, especially for cheesecake. On free weekends I can most likely be found practicing my Spanish and medical skills as a volunteer in a free clinic where I have worked since undergrad. Also a huge Harry Potter fan.
