I'm 36 and live in New York City. I was born in Karachi, Pakistan but never lived there; I spent my childhood in Saudi Arabia and came to the U.S. when I was 11. I moved to New York after law school and am a corporate attorney. My family all lives abroad across three countries (two brothers, one sister, and mother has moved back to Pakistan; my father passed away when I was 11). 

I value self-improvement. I try to stay fit and work out most mornings. I enjoy reading literature (short stories are a passion and hobby). Otherwise, I value my family and stretching my mind with travel whenever possible. 

I am very consciously not dogmatic with religion and don't actively practice. I am culturally conservative (for example, I believe in traditional values around modesty, the role of family in one's life; I observe Ramadan and Eid as part of my culture) but I also cater to views that are entirely self-actualized. For example, I drink socially and have no moral qualms about it so long as it is done in moderation, which I practice. 

Having grown up abroad and because I visit Pakistan twice a year, I relate to both sides of the cultural spectrum but, if I were to take a side, I'm probably more eastern than western. 

I'm an extroverted introvert. I can socialize easily but aware of when I need to recharge. 

For work, I helped start a start-up a few years ago and am the chief legal officer of the company. Prior to that, I was an M&A attorney at a law firm.  I attended Cornell Law School and the University of Virginia.
