Our Story
December 2019- Best Friends turned Matchmakers
Starting medical school together in fall of 2019, Maria and Nathan spent the first semester sharing quick conversations in between classes. Finally right before the end of the semester, Maria asked her best friend Kiersten "Hey do you mind texting Kieran [Nathan's best friend] to see if he is single? He's pretty cute." Kieran, looking out for his best friend, said "He's definitely single and interested."
