Parnia is a very diverse woman! She enjoys singing, photography, cooking, and baking in her free time. “LOL, does driving count as a hobby?” said Parnia. She has a huge heart; she loves to volunteer and really enjoys helping people with their problems, which is why she applied to become an RA and a PA! She even tutors people in math in her free time.
She loves Cal Lutheran, a lot. “I like the small class sizes, the classes are smaller than at my high school. Connections! Its easier with DSP and the workshops here, its really easy to connect with people in the business or the medical world,” said Parnia.
