Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.  

My name is Suha Khan and I was born in Mysore, India.  I moved to the United States when I was in fourth grade.  While my family and I initially lived in Orlando, Florida for some time, we then moved to Richmond, Virginia, which has been our hometown for several years now.

My family and friends tell me that I am a very kind and good-hearted individual.  I am giving, empathetic, sensitive, soft-spoken and down to earth.  I am honestly a very simple person who enjoys and appreciates the little things in life.  I am a bit shy at first but I also have an outgoing and friendly personality.  I love to laugh and I am a very jovial person.  I get along with everyone and have an extremely understanding and nurturing character.  

I grew up in the United States, yet I have maintained my traditional and cultural values.  Family is of great importance to me and I am close to my parents and both my siblings.  I have an older brother who is an attorney and a younger sister who is a doctor.  I speak English and Urdu at home and also enjoy improving my Spanish speaking skills whenever I can.  I like to cook and I like to learn how to prepare new dishes.  I enjoy desi food, Mexican and Chinese food as well.  I enjoy reading books, painting, exercising, watching movies, attending professional networking events and volunteering in the community.  I try to go to the gym at least three times a week and like to be active but sometimes, I also enjoy lounging on the couch with junk food and Netflix.  I love to attend events at the mosque and volunteering at potlucks, especially during Ramadan.

I am a strong believer in God (Allah) and prayer and I love to pray.  I do not wear a hijab/head scarf.  I dress in a modest Muslim manner and enjoy wearing a wide variety of modest and decent, yet fashionable clothing.  I do enjoy things like jewelry, henna, and nail polish.

One of my passions is to serve the elderly.  I realized this interest during my first job after high school when I worked at a home for the aged and cared for Alzheimer’s residents for many years in Richmond, VA.  I attended college at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond and majored in Biology.  I also have a minor in Chemistry.  I was originally pre-med and wanted to pursue a career in medicine.  I later decided, after graduating from college that medicine was not for me.  I decided to take the LSAT one day and pursued a degree in law.  I attended American University Washington College of Law in Washington D.C.  I used my science background to study patent law in law school.  I worked very hard during law school and graduated in May 2017 with my J.D. degree.  After law school, I worked at a small government-contracting firm in Mclean, VA as a contracts coordinator for a few months before deciding to move back to my hometown of Richmond, VA.  I am currently working in Richmond, VA.  I plan on taking the bar exam in July iA.  My future plans are to work in an office setting.

I am looking for a man who is kind, fun loving and respectful; a well-educated man but not necessarily a doctor or a lawyer.  What matters to me is that the person be goal oriented and good-hearted, someone who has a steady job so that he can care of me.  I would like to have kids so I am looking for someone who would also like to have kids.  I am looking for a family oriented man and one who loves to enjoy life and likes to be happy.  I am looking for someone who does not impose his wife to wear hijab (since I always dress modestly within the limits of decency).  I like to work but I would also like to balance a family life.  However, I will always put my family before anything.  

P.s. I like to drink chai (the desi type of chai).
