I am Pakistani raised in upstate New York. My mothers family grew up in Kenya and I love this cultural fusion.  I am passionate, loving, soft hearted and supportive with a good sense of wit and humor. I enjoy exploring and am well traveled. I am also a home body and a natural introvert. I am friendly and personable and can connect with people easily. I am down to earth, non judgmental, and enjoy  learning. I am intellectually curious, I can hold a conversation with almost anyone. I have my Masters and have worked as a program manager and researcher and plan to expand my career to include mental health, advocacy & law. I do not drink or use drugs. I enjoy going to Jummah, I fast during Ramadan, and pray when I can. I have a variety of friends (both Muslim and non-Muslim), I dress fairly modestly (non-hijabi and wear modest skirts). I enjoy the outdoors, painting, singing and spending time with family and genealogy. 

My ideal spouse is loyal, secure, understanding, ambitious, an independent thinker, and a humanist who appreciates an empathic, passionate and tender heart. ? A dependable, hard working & patient man to nourish my soul, create & grow together and explore this beautiful world, Inshallah. I prefer someone who does not drink, fasts, and goes to prayers (even just Friday prayers).  I  am compassionate and believe in using patience to guide others, and leading by example. I am looking for someone with a similar mindset who wants to make an impact in this world and help those in need.
