-Who is your hero? None
-Favorite Quote or Mantra? Trust but verify. I think it’s very fitting as an attorney.

-Favorite cuisine? I love all types of food and trying new things to broaden by taste buds. But no matter the mood, vibe, or day I can never go wrong with Greek or Mediterranean.
-Tell us something unique about your heritage or country of origin? The constant jokes referring to the Indian accent, and whether or not Indians can speak English just go to show us how little people know about the second most populated country in the world. There are over 22 languages spoken in India.
-Fun fact that most don’t know about you? This is a fact most people who do not know me will likely not be able to guess. I am a catholic Indian.
-Does your family have any traditions that are especially important to you? Around Christmas time we make Indian desserts, it’s a whole day affair and someone is fighting with someone else by the end of the day. But it’s totally worth it.
