Tell us about your family: I am married to Atif Chowdhury, whom I met in medical school here at UofL.  I have two energetic and funny children: Etta (3) and Theo (20 months)

Do you have pets? (If yes, what kind? How many?) That’s a big no.

What are you doing, where are you going, for your next vacation? Well, in Covid times, we have not traveled much.  We try to find places with hiking to stay distanced but enjoy the outdoors.

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I really don’t remember having a dream job as a young child.  Certainly, I knew I wanted to be a mom.

What is your favorite quote? Don’t really have one, but here are two that I like:
"If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. – Maya Angelou Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." – Nelson Mandela
"Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a better person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in." – Martin Luther King Jr.
