Flashback to when you were 10 years old. What do you want to be when you grow up? I’ve wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember! 

On Sunday mornings, you can usually find me…
Drinking coffee and doing a New York Times crossword puzzle, usually while listening to one of my vinyl records.

If you weren’t a doctor, what would you be? Music has always brought me a lot of joy, and I enjoy creating playlists and sharing music with others. I think I’d make a good radio DJ or maybe even a music reviewer/journalist!

Favorite show to binge watch? It’s a tie between Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Stranger Things.

What is a fun fact about yourself that not a lot of people know? I’ve been collecting vinyl records since high school and I’ve got about 70-80 as of right now. Most of them are rap, R&B, and pop music, but I have a little bit of everything.

What is the next thing you want to check off on your bucket list? There are a lot of places I’d love to visit one day, both in the US and abroad. The Grand Canyon, Petra in Jordan, and Macchu Pichu in Peru are just a few.

Do you have any skills or talents that most people don’t know about? I’m a decent snowboarder and love to take trips when I can find the time.
