Flashback to when you were 10 years old. What do you want to be when you grow up? Believe it or not, a doctor! Science was always my main area of interest and I was fascinated by everything about it.
On Sunday mornings, you can usually find me…
Relaxing somewhere with a view — because as much as I love a good debate, it’s probably better for everyone if I’m outside enjoying the view instead of having me yap for hours!
If you weren’t a doctor, what would you be? Something still close to medicine, probably a PharmD, because I really love chemistry and pharmacology.
Favorite show to binge watch? I’m not the biggest TV or movie fan, but I enjoy comedy sitcoms. I also have to shout out my favorite watch ever: “WWII in Color” (it’s a documentary).
What is a fun fact about yourself that not a lot of people know? Even though I don’t have a degree in it, I’ve been very interested in philosophy and would love to learn more about it. The particular areas I like are epistemology, ontology, the mind-body problem, and morality.
What is the next thing you want to check off on your bucket list? Travel to Italy and experience its culture, art, and history firsthand. I have lots of traveling to do, and Italy is definitely at the top of my list!
Do you have any skills or talents that most people don’t know about?I’m really good at trivia. People often joke that I have an endless supply of random facts — I’m just waiting for the day it finally wins me a big prize!
