Additional Information
I am an international dentist with bachelors in dental surgery. I have worked for almost a year after my graduation in 2006 in India as a associate dentist . After marriage and moving to USA, I took a break from my profession due to some family obligations . But I engaged myself in different volunteering opportunities in the community centres helping refuges to start their life in USA. I organized food and cloth drive for them along with other people in the community. I traveled many places and learned new things and focused on self improving .
Hobbies
I love to read books during my leisure time. My all time favorites are The Magic by Rhonda Bryne, Who Moved The Cheese and The Power of Now. I like to cook and try new recipes .I like to spend time with the family travelling and visiting new places.
