I grew up in America, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Bangladesh, Ghana, and India. I've lived in Manhattan for a few years now, but am always planning my next trip abroad! I frequently travel and have adventures. Recently, I went mountain climbing in Ethiopia. My favorite part of traveling is befriending people of different backgrounds and learning about their cultures.

I'm very much into health, nutrition, and exercise. I enjoy being outside playing soccer with friends in the park, hiking, or exploring NYC's nightlife on a warm night. I'd like to learn how to rock climb.

My passion is economic development- I've studied and worked in a few countries to learn more about it. I want to use research and policymaking to improve public health, education, and job security around the world.

Economic research on hurricanes, part time grad school in math, planning my next vacation abroad, and figuring out what path is the best use of my talents. I enjoy bar trivia and board games with my co-workers and trying new restaurants with my friends.

Racing ostriches, bargaining in spice markets, cutting pineapples, dancing in my room, etc. And I'm getting better at making puns.

If you can teach me some words in another language or how to cook a favorite dish, I'd love to learn! I'd like to meet girls who are open-minded and can appreciate other cultures. I especially appreciate wit and dry humor.
