 I consider myself a very passionate and grateful person for all the things that I've been blessed with. I consider myself a well balanced individual, am ambitious with my career aspirations, and consider family values to be extremely important. I truly love and exploring new countries and cultures, and have made a mandate to discover a new country or city every year.  I'm just as comfortable enjoying a quiet coffee with a great friend, or meeting new people in a new environment.

Health and fitness is also extremely important to me and is firmly embedded in my lifestyle.  I workout in some format every single day (either playing sports, or going to the gym) and really enjoy trying to cook up something new!

Other passions include reading, taking courses (time permitting!), trying new hobbies, and live music.

And lastly, my deen is very important.  I am trying to improve daily on a spiritual basis, and as I have gotten older, my closeness to my religion has become that much more critical.
