Personal history
I was born in India and raised in Kuwait. I went to school in Kuwait and graduated there. My parents and I had the opportunity to move to Massachusetts, U.S., where I pursued my career in nursing, following in my mother's footsteps. My hobbies include traveling, cooking, and reading. I hope to bring compassionate and safe care to the patients. I also hope I will be able to promote health, educate our community, and enhance their physical and mental well-being.
