Lover of world music, after-hour piano jam sessions, face-timing my family overseas, sneaking snacks to peoples' pets, cooking & overfeeding my friends with Persian Kabobs, and laughing at my own jokes before the punchline is recognized by the audience. I'm thrilled to call NYC home for the next several years!

I was born to a muggle family in Washington DC, apparated to Miami for 10 years, then rode the Floo network to NYC. I am a regular participant in epic nap sessions. When not outdoors hiking, in my kayak, hanging with friends or in the gym, you will most likely find me defending Azeroth with the Horde against the Alliance scum or imagining myself living out my dreams on Broadway. Hogwart's acceptance letter still pending... #proudslytherin

Christian Elijah Rosado
Undergrad: Syracuse University
Med School: SUNY Upstate Medical University
Bronx born and bred. Growing up consisted of block parties and playing with open fire hydrants in the summers and snowball fights and sledding in the winter. And let’s not forget eating chopped cheese at any bodega worth its salt all year long. Traded NYC life for a time and went “upstate” for college and medical school. Upstate- that’s any place above Westchester. Excited to be back in the city that gave me that authentic NYC grit.
Interests include any NY team that doesn’t end in an “-et” like the jets, nets, and mets. Love to hike and camp and pretty much any outdoor activity. Love to travel and backpack, especially in Mexico. And oh yeah, I absolutely love tacos and want to open a little taco shop one day.
