Three things people may not know about me:
- I love hiking, I lived in Arizona for almost two years and hiked many of the mountains around the Phoenix metropolitan area.
- Before choosing to pursue the medical profession, I was a software developer for six months. In fact, my undergraduate major was computer science.
- While I love both “Star Trek” and “Star Wars,” “Star Trek” is my favorite because it speaks to what we can be, rather than what we are . . . and pushes us to always be better.
