Biography

I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University with the hopes of attending medical school. I have extensive experience tutoring children in math and science, which I had to put on pause due to school. As of now, I am a Crisis Text Line Counselor which I volunteer twice a week. In addition, I am a competitive Bhangra (folk dance from Punjab) a dancer. I used to play varsity soccer and basketball in high school, and I am happy to say I continue to play those sports in my free time with friends. Lastly, I love reading and working out as health and nutrition are extremely important to me.
