I am a decisive person and try my best to achieve my goals. At the end of the day its up to Allah (SWT). My passions are arts education and arts advocacy, especially within the Muslim community. My family moved to the US in 1990 so basically grew up in Ohio. I lived in Boston for grad school and decided to move back to be close to family. On my free time I read and work on my acrylic paintings. I do yoga and meditation for my mental and physical health. Aside from that I am a light hearted and chill person. I love watching films in all languages and listen to classical music with a dash of pop.
