Born and raised in Chicago. Currently in my last year of med school. Moving to Baltimore at the end of the month to start my MPH, and then after that I will begin my surgical residency.

Few random facts about me:
- I thoroughly enjoy riding my bike through downtown traffic. Haven't been hit yet!
- I'd rather have a few great friends than a lot of friends
- My Mom is one of the most amazing women I know
- I really like math and physics, so if I didn't go into medicine I would do something using those skills
- I successfully ran away from the police in Mexico
- Ideal vacation for me at this point in my life consists of me laying on the beach all day. The touristy stuff can wait till I'm older. ;-)
- Signed up for the Tough Mudder in May. Anybody interested in running with me?

My hypertrophic gluteus maximus. Yes, just one. Asymmetrical.

Books: I read mostly medical stuff. Lots and lots of medical stuff. In terms of other reading, Atlantic Monthly is awesome. Nicholas Carr's book called The Shallows: What the Internet is doing to our brains was great. I like reading about the history of medicine. Recently read a book about nutrition b/c surprisingly I didn't really learn much about that in med school and I figured it was important to know especially since I'm starting to cook more now.

Movies: I prefer independent films over big budget action thrillers. Use to watch a lot in college, but not so much anymore.

Music: I listen to it, but mostly for background sound. I like Eminem, Linkin Park, Death Cab, techno, . . .

Food: Chicken. I freaking love chicken. It's a passion. Definitely experimenting a bit in the kitchen this year b/c if I don't learn how to cook now then my eating habits during my surgical residency are going to be absolutely terrible (i.e. Oreo based diet since they're free and easy to snack on between surgeries).

how to make the most out of my life.

depends on the night. Sometimes I stay in to do work. Other times out with my friends getting a drink.

I'm not. I can share private things with you after we actually meet. Using the internet to meet new people is fine in my book, but I'm not trying to live my life on it.

you know what's good for you.
