   I am a 34 year old, born and bred in New York City. I love Islam, my family, friends, New York City, books, cats, coffee and my career. I have a passionate need to travel and to learn. I love life and new experiences and am open to trying almost anything and going almost anywhere. I have been a NYC public school teacher for 12 years and fall in love with my job every year. I enjoy going out to eat, visiting museums, watching Broadway plays etc as well as staying home, watching Netflix on the couch, hanging with my girls, or engaging in intelligent conversations. My parents have instilled a sense of independence and confidence in myself and for that I am forever grateful. I love to laugh and am not high maintenance at all. Islam plays a very important role in my life and I am blessed to be Muslim. It is unequivocally the perfect path for life.
