ABOUT ME

I am half Indian and half Brazilian (which no one has ever guessed correctly), and I feel that I manage to benefit from the combination most of the time, with unfortunate exceptions in the areas of dancing and beard-growing (although I remain undeterred on both fronts).

I was born and grew up in the Midwest, went to college in upstate New York (with a semester detour to Seville, Spain), and am now back in Chicago finishing medical school.

I am currently traveling around the country interviewing for residency and would love to meet fun and interesting people along the way.

Interests

I enjoy playing and listening to music, reading (mostly fiction--see below), cooking, traveling, shooting pool, and the occasional game of tennis during the brief summers in Chicago.

More than anything, though, I love hanging out with my friends and meeting new people.
