A typical day in my life includes: some sort of work out and then dropping my kids off at school. After that, I usually work until I have to pick up the kids from school. I usually have to drive them to their activities. I usually work in the evenings as well.
I was born… in Chicago, IL.
My favorite thing about Arizona… is all the hiking trails and the weather in the winter.
I’m listening to… REAL trending, it’s a great real estate podcast.
My family… is my everything and my motivation for everything I do.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be… Oprah Winfrey.
One thing I cannot live without… Being active
When I was younger, I wanted to be… in the entertainment industry
I’m inspired by… my mother. She moved to the US from India when she was 22 years old in the 1980s. She’s now a retired physician and anesthesiologist, but when she came to the states, she entered a primarily male-dominated industry and had to overcome several challenges. I think of her often when I’m faced with a challenge or barrier.
The one person who motivates me is… my father, he has achieved great success in real estate and I strive to be like him professionally and personally.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be… curing and preventing diseases, and increasing education about lifestyle habits people can follow to be healthier.
The perfect day would be… a day with my family doing something we all love.
My first job was… was with my dad at Vermaland, his land development company. I was about 10 years old when he started teaching me about accounting. Once I turned 18, I officially began working with him in the accounting department, helping with leasing a building and bringing in potential tenants.
My favorite escape… hiking.
My life… needs a little bit more balance.
I’m currently working on… my film production company, Camelback Productions.
Always… positive
Never… negative
Favorite Quote… Be the change you want to see in the world. – Gandhi
Biggest Dream…. To make a large impact on the world.
My Pet Peeve(s)… people who make excuses.
