  Hi/Salaam!

I always find these blurbs difficult to write but I\'ll give it my best shot. My name is Marya and I am a 22 year old Pakistani-American living in the Chicagoland area. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2016 and this fall (Aug 2017) I will be starting graduate school - specifically a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD)! In between I have been working in the city of Chicago at a physical therapy group.

I have a wonderful family and amazing friends - I hold those relationships near and dear to my heart. I love most enjoyable things like shopping, movies, being around people (I\'m definitely an extrovert). I have had the good fortune of being able to travel with my family to various parts of the world so that is something I would love to continue throughout my life when possible! I have even lived in Dubai for 3 years.

I consider myself a practicing Muslim (spiritually and religiously). I am open minded and liberal/modern in terms of thought and way of thinking (social issues, diversity, generosity, etc). I find both to be a must have for someone I choose to spend my life with! 

I decided to start looking for people meet and get to know as the process of finding suitable candidates seem to be getting tougher. I\'m on the younger side so I\'m not really in a rush but I am serious about getting to know people who have the intention to get married (given you find the right person!). 

Thanks!
Marya
