                I am 25 years old. I was born, raised and reside in Philadelphia. I graduated with a bachelors degree in Environmental Engineering and am pursuing my masters in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering. I am currently working full time as an Environmental Engineer in Water Treatment. I'm very passionate about my job and water quality in general. I am very interested in making a change in underprivileged countries where safe water and sanitation is not available. I love to give my time by volunteering. I like to volunteer my time to organizations that are either focused on providing safe water and sanitation or organizations focused on the Muslim youth. I love hiking, walks in the park, waterfalls, high points with a view and nature in general. In my free time I enjoy arts and crafts, painting, Arabic calligraphy, running and yoga. In general I like to try to stay fit by eating healthy and exercising. I come from a family of 7, which includes my mother and father, older brother, two younger brothers and a younger sister. I have a pretty close relationship to my family. When it comes to friends and family, I can be extremely caring. When it comes to religion, I am moderate to conservative. I pray 5 times a day, read the Quran at least on a weekly basis, fast as prescribed, give zakat, and try to follow Sunnah as much as possible, but enjoy the pleasures of dunya as well. Overall, I believe I have a good balance between deen and dunya.
