A sense of humor is very important to me, SMILE PLEASE! I see the bright side in situations and don't take life too seriously. That being said, I'm motivated both professionally and in my personal life and love to stay physically active and pursue my personal interests, which include playing and following sports, constantly discovering new music, going to the gym, exploring new areas of the city, trying new restaurants (mmmm sushi), and nights both in and out with friends. Side note, I keep a quote-book of hilarious things my students say, for example, "I know Santa is real because I saw him at Target!" Looking for a partner in crime to enjoy life and share misguided, yet adorable quotes with.

Helping improve the quality of our planet's future adults one person at a time (you'll thank me in a few years).

Throwing Frisbees, choosing amazing B-list movies on Netflix, crossword puzzles, Scrabble, sports trivia, backgammon (it's a Persian thing), making workout mixes for friends.

How my life would change if I got to ride in the Cash Cab, my next vacation, sushi.

Spending time with friends indoors or out on the town, going to concerts/sporting events, discovering a new hot spot in the city, cherishing the fact that I don't have to wake up early the next day.

I still use my NYU ID to get student prices on things and I like one Katy Perry song... If you're still reading, maybe we're meant to be together.

You think we'd hit it off!
