I am a myriad a combinatory and conflicting characteristics that makes up a unique and unparalleled individual. I have been told I have been lucky to meet, never boring, always interesting and unmatched in character. I am openly honest and loving (sometimes to my detriment) with a very giving heart. At the same time, I think outside of the box, always willing to smile, laugh and have fun. I will try anything twice and am very adventurous and spontaneous (when my schedule allows). Theme parks, rollercoasters, spicy food, red wine, good music, books and the smell of coffee make me happy. It is all about the simple pleasures…breathing in and enjoying life. Calm and collected, rational and emotional, driven and carefree…words often can not describe me, I am different, and happy to be so. I love museums, shopping for organic foods, listening to new music and art galleries!

Finishing my science credits for med schools at Columbia University, after receiving a bachelor's in classical music. I am not a snob about music, willing to experience and listen to new sounds; I literally love everything, except maybe Berg, although analysis of his music is quite fascinating. My interests lie in varying areas. I am not an expert at everything, but I find myself curious about all areas of art and life. I want to experience and open my mind to as many individuals, cultures and opportunities as possible. Exploring New York is a new passion of mine, since I am quite new to the area.

Talking...I literally can communicate with anyone!

Accepting individuals and empathizing with them...

Organizing and cleaning, two very mundane tasks that make my life orderly and easy, plus I help others out...silly, I know.

Driving...I drive with a penis and THAT is important!

Performing music, I was classically trained!

Eating, such a passion I have always had, will try anything, although I prefer to remain healthy, organic and light on the meat.

Finding parking. Whenever anyone is in a car with me, parking spots magically appear out of nowhere.

Running...it takes a great mindset and determination to train for a marathon, something I am hoping to complete this year.

Cooking...a newly acquired skill and one that I am loving!

Numbers...I have a bit of a a photographic memory with them, they stick forever.

My smile, apparently it lights up a room.

My eyes...dark, deep and warm!

Anything organic, spicy, delicious and different, but sometimes, simple mac and cheese it what the soul needs. I also have an obsession with mushrooms, capers and cilantro...red wine tops the list as well.

Education...I am addicted to school and learning

A comfortable bed...I love lazy mornings

My bassoon...it is a fifth limb and my livelihood

Books...my obsession and my main collection (that and buttons)

My cat...she is unlike most cats, you will just have to see when you meet her.

People, culture and personality...what causes one person to act one way in a situation and another to respond completely differently.

Cats, what fascinating creatures.

Change, what should be changed and what never will.

Food, I love it so much, I plan every meal.

Medicine, it is so fascinating and unique and an unending field of knowledge.

Sometimes staying in, sometimes going out, sometimes working, sometimes studying. Everyday is an adventure and I don't treat anyday differently from the rest, they are all gifts and sometimes, my Mondays are Fridays and my Fridays are Wednesdays :)

I have a severe problem with how Okcupid labeled my personality...I don't think I am any of those things, except I am definitely a planner.

You are fun, outgoing, loving, conscious of the environment, food production, educated and different.
