I’m a latte and brunch enthusiast. I love a good technical challenge, but I'm also creative. I’m ambitious and have explored a diverse range of interests throughout my career. I push myself to experience new adventures, and I’ve done a bit of solo travel (my favorite trips have been to Europe and the Grand Canyon).

I was born and raised in a small town in the Southwest, and I'm the second eldest of six children. Our family was the only Arab Muslim family in town, which made for an interesting experience. I moved to Boston for college (which was quite a culture shock for me!), where I double majored in Environmental Engineering and Theater Arts. After college, I moved to California with my older sister and started my first job.

Islam is the primary filter through which I live my life and make decisions, and I strive to continuously grow as a Muslim. I find psychology fascinating, and I love to reflect on how it intersects with faith and spirituality. When I’m not at my job nerding out over data, I'm exploring new nature spots, attending halaqas, reading fiction, listening to music, watching comedy, or cooking a tasty meal. My friends and family would describe me as caring, dependable, thoughtful, and supportive.

Because Islam is deen-al-wasat, I strive to live a balanced life with daily spiritual practices, regular therapy, and exercise. I’m looking for a like-minded partner who’s committed to growing and improving as a Muslim and as a person; someone who can have a balanced exchange, whether we’re joking around or having a serious conversation; and someone I can develop a deep connection and strong partnership with that ultimately brings us both closer to Allah.
