A lighthearted, simple and compassionate person who is Looking for the real deal. 
I value honesty, curiosity and open mindedness. I keep a healthy balance between traditional and American culture. I have a small but close circle of long term friends and come from a small family. I'm up for pretty much anything and tend to be quite laid back. I take a lot of joy and interest in simple things like trying different cuisines, true crime docs, a good latte and lazy Sundays. I have wide interests in movies, tv shows, the comic book genre, podcasts and music. in fact I am very proud of my late 90's/early 00's playlists I've carefully created for my morning commute. I stay pretty well informed on pop and the current sociopolitical culture. I am actively striving to be more involved in my community and be socially and politically minded as I feel we all should be. Also, I am not a picky eater and have a ferocious sweet tooth that often gets the better of me. 
I enjoy my work as I get to help individuals of all backgrounds and ages improve and better their lives and themselves. It can be emotionally draining and challenging at times but overall is meaningful work that I take great pride in. 
As a Shia muslim, I am very familiar with the customary traditions, beliefs and values and consider myself to be practicing. I fast in Ramzan, give sadqa everyday, only eat halal meat, no drinking or smoking and I do not observe hijab but live modestly. I do not claim to be very religious, but Allah and faith play a big role in my life. 
I have been on this journey of finding the "one" and though it has been tedious and difficult, I've learned a lot about myself and am ready to move into the next chapter of my life. Hopefully with the right person.
