Dr. Momin enjoys astrophysics and doing math problems for fun! She finds it therapeutic. She also loves the outdoors and traveling. Though she can’t swim, this does not stop her from wanting to try out all the water sports at least once in her life—including kite surfing, sailing and wakeboarding. She owns a kayak and paddleboard that she uses frequently. And, of course, Dr. Momin loves spending her free time with her fur-baby, Charlie.
