 Most people would describe me as a kind and caring person who has a a good sense of humor. I'm rather laid-back and don't take things too seriously. I try to enjoy the life I've been given and spend most of my free time with family and friends. I do my best to practice Islam and constantly seek to better myself. In doing so, I wear hijaab, pray 5 times a day, eat zabiha, fast during Ramadan, give Zakaat and continuously seek knowledge.

I was born and raised in the US and have maintained a good balance of religious, secular and cultural values. My family is originally from Bangladesh and has been settled in the US for many years, consisting of educated, loving and down to earth individuals. I have a Masters in Public Health with a focus in Epidemiology. I'm currently working in an Emergency Department as a Research Associate and Alhamdulillah, I love my job. I enjoy working in a hectic, fast-paced environment because it keeps me on my toes and puts my FitBit to good use. 

A little more about myself: I enjoy playing and watching sports -- being a fan of my NY sports teams (NYG, NYY, NYK, NYRB) can be emotionally exhausting but I'll go to games and support them regardless. I try to live an active and healthy lifestyle but I also love being a homebody and catching up on my favorite TV shows and movies.

I'm always up for a new adventure and can't wait to see what Allah has in store for me.
