I'm a hard-working but laid back individual looking for somebody with a similar mindset. I'm passionate about social work and social justice, and I work as a project manager on one of the federal government's anti-poverty programs. Went to school at Johns Hopkins and studied history and political science there.

Family is everything to me, as well as deen, and I highly value being actively Muslim. I'm currently going through a word-to-word translation of the Quran right now so I can memorize the Quran along with its English meaning.

On the weekends, I like to explore around town and go to places I haven’t been - whether it’s a museum or a new trail. I also love learning about different cultures and picking up their languages. Despite having an incredibly cheap taste in food, I value healthy eating and have enough culinary skills to make gluten-free and dairy-free pasta taste good.

I also enjoy forcing friends to watch the latest show I'm into or watching their reaction to a new song so there is a real possibility that my future beau will need to go through all 15 seasons of Supernatural :) 

Looking for a dedicated partner to walk and grow alongside with and ultimately share the Akhira with. I'd love to have the type of relationship where we could just as easily study Quran together as going out volunteering or binge-watching a show.

Personality-wise, I'm an extroverted introvert. I strongly believe where there is a will there is a way, and I tend to be a (practical) optimist. My friends would describe me as a go-getter and independent person, somebody with a tough love attitude but a sweet and caring core that is very devoted to the people in my life.
