Neuroscience enthusiast, coffee addict, fiction aficionado, yoga and nature lover.

I'm a San Diego native and recent UC Berkeley grad. I work doing pediatric neurological research at UCSF, eventually applying to med school.

Being sarcastic and witty, but also sweet and loving at the same time. I enjoy swimming, yoga, hiking, biking, and exploring. I love creating and experimenting in the kitchen, hanging out with good friends, conversation, and a lovely setting. I'm always down to adventure, try new things, discover, and experience more in this Bay Area gem of a city.

My hair... its really long. My smile. My eyes, although I guess they're less noticeable at first.

Anything by Murakami. I'm quite obsessed. Nabokov, Dostoevsky, Kafka, Steinbeck, Auster, McCarthy..... the list goes on. Daring to tackle Infinite Jest at some point this year. I also tend to read a lot of neuroscience nonfiction and research journals, whether for work or pleasure. I'm an avid reader.

Music.... alternative rock/indie artists that you'd expect to see at all the music festivals. Favorites include Grizzly Bear, Radiohead, Alt-J, Black Keys, Thom Yorke, Beach House, The Dirty Projectors, Fleet Foxes, Andrew Bird, Justice, Daft Punk, etc. I love going to shows.

I'm a huge foodie. Favorites include my mom's italian food, indian food, and all the amazing food places in the city. Oh, and I could probably live off mangoes.

Breath, My road bike (Jacob), Friends/family, Books, Movement, Nature

Neuroscience. The biological basis of consciousness. Also, the fate of the expanding universe and all the craziness that is astrophysics.

On a more regular and lighthearted basis.... the well being of those around me, my friends, and my family. What my next meal will be, haha.

Out, most likely. Work hard play hard! Or if I'm at home, cuddled up reading a good book or hanging out with friends while a homemade fruit pie is in the oven.

Ask.

You're laid back, chill, intellectual, and can carry a conversation. You live in the moment and enjoy life to the fullest. Open to new experiences and curious. Sense of humor is a must, you have to make me laugh!

I joined this site for fun and to meet new people in the city. If you're down to explore the city, go for a bike ride through golden gate to watch the sunset at OB, go indoor rock climbing and/or spend a sunny saturday laying in the park with me then send a message my way. Also, sorry if I don't respond! I don't come on this site often and I'm pretty busy settling right now. Don't take it personally, I will try to get back to you when I can :)
