What makes Greater Phoenix so great: Pooja Chandramohan

Published: 03/13/2025

Tell us a little about yourself:

My name is Pooja and I was born in Malaysia but have lived in Chandler, Arizona for the last 27 years so I definitely call it home. I am a Research Analyst at GPEC.

Where are you originally from and what brought you to Greater Phoenix?

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My parents were living here for work already and had been settled here for years before I was born. When given the opportunity to move several times as an adult, I never was able to because I was in love with Arizona. I love the weather (sunny is my favorite), hidden food gems always left to discover, and no major threats of natural disasters.

What city or town do you live in?

Chandler.

Where do you currently work and what is your job title?

Research Analyst at GPEC.

What’s your favorite thing to do in Greater Phoenix on the weekends?

I love to read thrillers and non-fiction books, discover new places to eat and drink coffee (support local-businesses!), and practice my boxing skills.

What’s your favorite local restaurant?

Cocina Madrigal.

What’s something that has surprised you about Arizona?

We don’t observe Daylight Savings Time to avoid unnecessary energy consumption. 😉
