Hobbies, facts and interests
In my spare time, I enjoy weightlifting, playing soccer and baseball, reading Russian literature, and listening to the rain. I’m an identical twin and just barely consider myself tetralingual in English, Farsi, Spanish, and German.

Why Fresno?
For me, Fresno is close to family, close to nature, and is home to a diverse and vulnerable population. The hospitals are busy, the level of care is excellent, and the exposure is unreal. All of these factors made UCSF Fresno one of my top choices for residency.
