In answer to the top ten basic trivia questions about me:
2.) Born and raised in New York City. 5.) I'm applying for a residency in Pediatrics, meaning that I will be a Kiddie Doctor 6.) I'm Chinese, though sometimes mistaken for Korean, Japanese, and, once, randomly, Laotian. 7.) I can't drive, because I grew up in Manhattan. Let's get that out there now, before you find out later, fall down in shock, and ruin your nice clothes. 8.) I love: Joe, my family, our dog Cooper, those rare days that I'm in the hospital and actually feel as though I know what I'm doing, people with a sense of humor, reading, writing, Holden Caulfield, Atticus Finch, and Woody Allen movies (though not to be confused with actually loving Woody Allen). 9.) I hate: Jerks. 10.) I really haven't gotten stressed about planning this wedding yet, even though everyone keeps waiting for me to freak out. I guess I have a good planning partner. |

I've been known to spend huge swaths of time outdoors in the center of our little pumpkin patch on the East Side; in fact, if you call to talk with me, there's a good chance that that's where I'll be -- hefting pumpkins. Here are some other tidbits about me:
1.) I grew up in rural Ohio, with a loving family and lots of farm animals, including pigs and cows and chickens and turkeys and ... 2.) I graduated from Case Western Reserve University in 1996, and just when I thought I would never graduate from an institution with fa longer name, I received my Masters Degree in Chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley in 1998. Little did I know that one day I would be attending the Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons. 4.) In 2003, I'll be officially embarking on a long and happy life with my love, Michelle. |

While it might seem strange to have a personal introduction section on a website for people invited to our wedding, we also realize that (with the exception of our immediate family and friends from medical school) there were important people in Joe's life who hadn't gotten a chance to know Michelle very well yet, and vice versa. Therefore, we've put together a little introduction of ourselves on this page, with the basics of what you need to know. |
