I'm an extroverted introvert, driven yet down-to-earth, positive gal. I strongly believe where there is a will there is a way, and I tend to be a (practical) optimist. My friends would describe me as a go-getter and independent person, somebody with a tough love attitude but a sweet and caring core that is very devoted to the people in my life. My friends have summed me up as a feminine and elegant version of Toph :) That's how unique I am. 

I'm passionate about social work and social justice, and I work as a project manager on one of the federal government's anti-poverty programs. Went to school at Johns Hopkins and studied history and political science there.

Family is everything to me, as well as Deen, and I highly value actively trying to maintain and enhance my relationships, especially with my Creator. Currently trying to memorize the Quran while learning its meaning word-to-word. 

On the weekends, I like to explore around town and go to places I haven’t been - whether it’s a museum or a new trail. I value healthy eating and have enough culinary skills to make gluten-free and dairy-free pasta taste good! I regularly practice dance choreos to get that cardio. I also love learning languages so I'll probably end up speaking better in (insert language) with your parents than you :)

Looking for a best friend and dedicated partner to walk and grow alongside with and ultimately share the Akhira with. I'd love to have the type of relationship where we could just as easily study Quran together as going out volunteering or binge-watching a show.
