Aroon grew up in Guyana and emigrated to the US when he was 9 years old. From the age of 16, he began to work and saved enough money to attend college. After graduating high school, Aroon attended Siena College for three years and received his degree. 

During his undergraduate studies, Aroon worked as a PCT at a hospital named Ellis Medicine. There, he realized his interest in medicine and physics. After becoming the first Medical Physicist Intern at Ellis Medicine, Aroon realized his passion for the field. It is now his dream to become a DABR certified Medical Physicist. 

Aroon’s hobbies include hanging out with friends and family, listening to music, and going to the gym.
