I love Halal food, especially falafel and hummus with pita!

I’m currently in Milwaukee, WI! I love getting to Milwaukee, they have beautiful lakefront beaches on Lake Michigan and amazing food! I also got to go to the Madison Horse Fair and Rodeo this year since I’m living in Wisconsin now!

Raj is such a hype girl! She’s always hustling to get me the best assignments and she pushes for me with facilities!
