  I am generally a quiet person (unless surrounded by my closest of friends and family). I enjoy spending time around other people, if the situation is not too boisterous, however I particularly appreciate time on my own or perhaps with one other person, doing what I love. I love to make art, whether it be sketching, painting, or beading together some tasbihs (: I also enjoy spending time in nature, and reading about anything and everything (left to my own devices I could spend a whole day in the library with nothing more than a pen, a sketchbook, and a hot beverage). A typical INTJ in many ways I suppose!
Apart from this, a huge priority in my life is my faith. Islam is something that I came to on my own. I was never given much of an Islamic education as a child., so although sometimes it is difficult for me, I do my best to continue growing as a Muslim, and learning more about my duties and responsibilities. I am also enamored by the spiritual aspects of Islam (tasawwuf) and in increasing in my relationship with Allah. 
Professionally, I am currently finishing my Masters thesis in Applied Linguistics. I would like to teach, however my main priority would definitely be caring for my family. I have often thought that if Allah blesses me with children, I would like to homeschool them. If one were to ask about my personality, I would say that I am rather laid back, I\'m not generally the one to jump at taking charge- however when it comes to standing up for justice, I would be the first to do so. In fact, my undergraduate degree was in Peace Studies, and I think that in and of itself is indicative of my personality. I\'m certain my friends and family would describe me as a peace loving and compassionate person. I would say that I am adventurous, though. I love traveling and exploring new places. I get a kick out of the planning that goes into it, and then making the most out of every minute possible! And finally, although it may seem ironic considering I like my time to myself, I am great at networking people. I remember from my time as the president of my MSA that that was my favorite part- meeting new people, understanding where they come from and what their passions are, and introducing them to people on the same page (:
