I am here for Friends

About Me

I grew up in the Chicago burbs in Wheaton, IL, had fun in the cornfields in Urbana-Champaign for college, jogged by the river in Peoria for med school, then migrated across the border to Milwaukee. Now I'm back home in Chicago. Along the way, I've had fun dancing and making a lot of awesome friends I'm really lucky to have.

My Interests

volunteering, legislative advocacy, dancing (Bharatanatyam, salsa/merengue, bhangra, and in the clubs), Carnatic music, reading, trying to jog/work out, talking too much on the phone
