My philosophy of life is, "Go big or go home!" I like to do things to the fullest- always pushing myself to be better, instead of settling or doing things half-*ssed. I am committed and passionate and always reaching for the stars. I was born in Armenia, grew up in LA, and have been living in SF on and off for 7 years. I am a pediatrician and work in an academic hospital where I take care of really sick kids. I also teach medical students and residents and conduct clinical research. I have been practicing medicine for 7 years and everyday is full of new challenges and opportunities for growth. I always wanted to be a pediatrician, so it's a huge part of me; but, I am not married to my work. I love my family, the arts, the outdoors, being physically active (swimming, hiking, running), listening to music, laughing, cooking, dancing, and traveling. I believe in positive thinking and achieving balance. My friends would describe me as goal-oriented, self-motivated, determined, loving, caring, generous, spiritual, creative and independent. I am a minimalist and I hate drama! I am looking for my soul-mate. My parents have been married for 36 years and are still in love, so I know it is possible. I am looking for a man who is emotionally mature, intelligent, professionally accomplished, spiritual and happy.
