If I had a guilty financial pleasure, it would be going out for brunch every weekend. I guess that doubles as an interesting fact about me too! My favorite desserts include cheesecake and brownies, and I believe I also have to like cheese danishes due to my namesake. 

I have a weird sense of humor, but overall I like to keep things light and warm-hearted. If my friends had to describe me using three adjectives, I think they'd say kind, empathetic, and good-listener. Work and school keep me busy for the most part -- in the public policy field, as well as studying it -- and most definitely my passion. My goal is to help people in whatever shape that I can, and I see public policy as a means of doing just that. 

I think I would amiss not to mention that Islam is very important to me. I am by no means perfect, but I want to practice as best as I can and grow as much as I can. A couple ayat that resonate deeply with me include; "verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest," and, "verily, with hardship comes ease, verily, with hardship comes ease."
