I am a kind, family-oriented woman of an empathetic nature: warm, sincere, and deeply introspective. Though friendly, I am also a reserved and patient listener. I was fortunate to be raised with humility, compassion, and integrity. These moral values are my practice and my heritage; a blessing that I will safeguard and nurture in all who I love.

From my mother, I grew an abiding respect for people and the world around me; ever so curious, ever bright. I was taught that learning never ends. I fell in love with biology, the study of life, and saw Allah (swt) in the tiniest of organisms, embedded in our DNA, in everything: He who has created the most perfect of imperfections, souls housed within bodies capable of extraordinary change and kept alive with daily miracles.

I know wisdom comes from any source. I believe that a scientist is anyone who asks a question and, in seeking answers, understands truth as a process unending. I am here, at this intersection between cultures, aware of their worst; yet, I wish to live a life of their best.

I am looking for my best friend: principled, good, and kind. We will share this journey in love, of love, and in understanding of one another.
