Fun Facts from Dr. Madni:

"I really enjoy dancing and did ballet for over 20 years! I attended the Los Angeles Ballet School. I also had a great time co-directing, choreographing, and performing original pieces with the USC Chamber Ballet Company. Other passions of mine include drawing and painting. Ink, charcoal, and acrylic paints are some of my favorite media to work with."
