Salaams and hello,

While I have been described as an over-educated extrovert, I don't see myself as over-educated as there is always more to learn as we move through life. I will not argue though with the latter half of that title- I am definitely an extrovert! I laugh, often, at the great things and the not-so great things in life.  I enjoy getting a group of friends in a room over good food and good conversation. I enjoy experimenting with food when friends are around - most recent adventure was jack fruit ice cream - total success and one of my best ideas yet. Social settings and social justice energize me and staring out at large bodies of water brings a sense of calm and peace. 

Ever the nomad, I am now looking to settle down and raise a family. I've lived in the States in big cities (Atlanta, GA; Cambridge, MA; and now Baltimore, MD) and small towns (Chapel Hill, NC) and in rural areas of foreign countries (Paraguay). Of these places Boston has probably been my favorite though each possesses its own charm. 

Islam is important to me as a grounding discipline, intellectual exploration, and spiritual practice.  Family is important to me - my parents, two brothers, and sister-in-law all live in Maryland. 

I'm looking for someone genuine, thoughtful, confident, and communicative. I seek to have an impact on the world; social justice has been and will I believe to be a big part of my life. I want someone who also is passionate about their purpose. 

Look forward to chatting and best of luck in your search, inshaAllah!
