  I\'m a 28 year old Pakistani American. My parents are from Pakistan, but I was born in New York. I\'ve also lived in Texas, Michigan, and now Maryland. I graduated with a bachelor\'s degree in computer science from the University of Maryland and currently work for the Department of the Navy. I\'m the middle child in my family; I have a younger and older sister.

In terms of personality, I\'m a pretty introverted person (but most people don\'t realize that since I\'ve been described as a \"learned extrovert\" before). I prefer being a homebody or hanging with a small group of close friends. I’m very close to my family, but especially my sisters who I consider my best friends. I tend to do most things (travel, go out to eat, etc.) with them. Besides being introverted, I’m also a very private person. I very rarely open up to others, but when I do, I latch onto those people as (hopefully) lifelong friends. I also consider myself a humble, practical-minded, kind, and funny person.

When it comes to Islam, I would say I’m a moderate. While I don’t wear hijab (though I would never rule it out in the future), I still try to adhere to Islamic principles. This includes not having had pre-marital sex or dated before, only eating zabihah, regular prayers, fasting during Ramadan, and in general just trying to live my life in an Islamic manner both in action and personality. I’m far from being a perfect Muslim and my faith fluctuates just like everyone else’s, but I’m always trying to motivate myself to be better.
