So 3 words that people always describe me as: funny, caring and ambitious.  (in no specific order) 

31-years old, born and raised in the suburbs of Southern California, I come from a moderately conservative Afghan family, first generation Kandari Afghan. I speak fluent Pashto and understand a bit of Dari. I am the oldest of 4 children. Islam is a huge part of my life and I thank my parents and their upbringing for helping establish that foundation. I'm also very big on family and that probably is also why I give off the fun mom/big sis vibes lol. 

I've spent the last 10 years working in the healthcare startup industry which has offered some amazing opportunities and growth including a work trip to India!. Currently I work as an Account executive at a Los Angeles health tech startup, overseeing all our clients and their business. With that said, I'm a pretty balanced person with work/life and try to be as efficient in my job to enjoy the time outside of it.  But I do work hard and love what I do and it keeps me very busy and appreciate ambition and a good work ethic in a partner as well. At some point down the road, I'd like to go to grad school so I can create a career for myself in public health, specifically maternal/child health and geriatric (elderly care). I want to focus on the muslim population as a whole inshallah and put my future efforts into something that will benefit both duniya and akhira inshaAllah. 

Other fun facts: 
-Enjoy hiking. I also love traveling and exploring new places. Was fortunate to travel to Dubai right before COVID for a family wedding, which was amazing.
-Been told many times that I am an amazing storyteller and have a great sense of humor. I love making people laugh. 
-Love to wind down watching films and shows. Netflix, Amazon, HBO. subscribed to them all. I also have a nostalgia love for old bollywood films (urdu/hindi is descent). 
-Love children and can't wait to have my own someday inshallah. One of my primary reasons for marriage is to start my own family inshallah.
