Let me just preface this by saying: I am very bad at talking about myself.  ? Okay here we go.

I'm a pretty laid back person, very positive minded. I value politeness and manners; I think it says a lot about people. I really admire how genuinely kind and polite our Prophet (saw) was, so I love witnessing that characteristic in others, and I make a conscious effort to nurture that in myself. 

I have a great sense of humor, and my friends will tell you I love a good laugh. I can be quiet when meeting new people, but as I get more comfortable... I’m still pretty quiet lol. My job has forced me to be more talkative and engaging (I do nutrition counseling), so I am a lot better at getting outside of my "bubble" than I was before. 

My deen is very important to me, and I love being around people who bring out the best qualities in myself. I wouldn't say that I'm a "serious" student of knowledge, but whenever I can I’ll attend or listen to AlMaghrib seminars or lectures to keep my Iman high and improve upon my Islamic knowledge. I also recently discovered podcasts and audiobooks and they've been life changing.

I work as a Nutritionist so I am health conscious, but I'm definitely not perfect. The struggle is definitely real sometimes. I'm currently working on transitioning to entrepreneurship as a health coach. I love my job Alhamdulilah, partly because I get to see cute babies everyday. But I realized that, while I love what I do, I don't love the aspects that come with working for someone else. So long term, I want to build something for myself that allows me and my family financial and location freedom, inshaAllah
