I was born and raised in Iran. I received my Bachelor's degree in Physics from Johns Hopkins University. I went on to work for three years as a bioinformatician and clinical data analyst at the NIH and Cedars Sinai hospital. My interests are in rare disease, immunology, and genomics. Would love to talk to anyone about my journey in the US as an immigrant :).

Also, I support Arsenal and Barcelona. And have been a cyclist since college. I love ice cream and kabob.
