I am a socially active, family-oriented, steak-loving doctor currently living in Chicago. I like an active lifestyle, used to run competitively in college and one of my goals in life is to run the NYC Marathon. I also love to read, have a BA in Literature, and own more books than clothes. If I wasn’t a doctor, I would be an Russian Literature Professor. I love traveling and of the seven countries I have visited, my favorite place, besides Mecca, is Kenya, where I lived for a summer during college. I also enjoy spending quality time with my family where we spend the whole day watching foreign tv shows on Netflix and eating too much popcorn. If I had no restrictions, responsibilities or a strict mother, I would work for Doctors Without Borders, a nonprofit organization that travels to war-torn and poor countries where doctors are desperately needed. On the weekends, if I am not tutoring 1st year medical students or hanging out with my family, I can be found at the Rohingya Cultural Center, trying to help refugees assimilate to life in the US.
