Hi! I’m originally from Alexandria, Egypt, but I grew up in southwest Virginia. I like reading (mostly fiction and creative non-fiction), doing crosswords and other puzzles, going to Broadway musicals, and spending time outdoors, taking walks and exploring new places. So excited to meet you all!

I love trying new restaurants, going to concerts and music festivals, museums, pretty much all things arts and culture. I also sing a little, enjoy cooking+ baking when I have the time, and consider myself a writer at heart.

Hi! I love getting out and exploring local visual and performing arts scenes–always grateful to learn more about artists and their crafts. I also like to spend time singing and writing.

I enjoy traveling and trying out local foods, hiking, and watching horror movies. My favorite way to travel is by train, my favorite way to exercise is going for a run, and the weirdest animal I’ve been bitten by is a monkey. A bright spot of every day for me is going on a walk led by my chihuahua, Minnie.

While I grew up in Michigan, I was actually born at HUP! Outside medicine and science, I like cooking, traveling, hiking, running, and computer programming.
