I am an attorney, and have been practicing in the area of intellectual property law for the past 10 years. The one thing I truly enjoy about my job is having the opportunity to work one on one with small start-ups and entrepreneurs who are incredibly passionate about their new ideas, innovations and endeavors. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and learning about different and diverse cultures from my own through art, music, film and food.
What is your favorite ice cream? There are a few favorites, but I absolutely love Amy’s Ice Cream’s Mexican Vanilla.
What is one thing you love about your culture? My parents are originally from India, and I was blessed with opportunities to visit my family there over the holidays as a kid. One of my favorite events is the annual kite festival in my mom’s hometown of Ahmedabad in Gujarat, India. Everyone heads to the rooftops to fly paper kites or “patangs”, and the sky is filled with these colorful paper kites all day long.
What is your favorite holiday? Christmas, because of all the traditions, from putting up the Christmas tree to breakfast/brunch after opening presents with loved ones. Almost every year, my family hosts the annual Christmas party for our extended family and close friends, including an always-memorable rendition of the “Twelve Days of Christmas”.
How do you express yourself? I try to spend time getting together with friends where we do an art project together. It’s a great way to carve out time to be expressive and creative while catching up with everyone.
