My parents raised me to be independent but family orientated. I consider myself spiritual and moderately religious.  I understand that everyone has path and I trust the path that has Allah has me on. I am close to my family (I have two sisters and I am the eldest) and friends. I went to Vanderbilt for undergrad and Columbia for my Masters in Strategic Communication. My parents have always taught us to be charitable and so that is big part of my life. I started and am on the board for the young professional chapter of The Citizens Foundation and we have raised over $200,000 to build schools in Pakistan. I really love bringing friends and family together- I am usually hosting some type of get together. My house is usually where people congregate for 4th of July, Eid, Iftar, etc... I really enjoy learning new things. I am in the process of launching a new business project and living that life of an entrepreneur (slightly sleep deprived). I am a bit of a sports fanatic but at the same time really enjoy getting lost in a museum.   

I think it is important to say what I am looking for in a person

I would like my future partner to have a good mix of religion and culture, be confident in who he is and what he is doing. I believe that both partners should be supportive of each other. My parents are truly best friends and I see how a marriage rooted in friendship works best. I am looking for someone who is genuine, funny, kind with a big heart, and shares similar outlook on life.
