I am a passionate individual and dedicated to my faith and family. I come from a traditional Afghan family but describe myself as a mix of both East and West. I had the privilege of growing up in a diverse Muslim community and was exposed to a little bit of every culture. This taught me acceptance and appreciation of cultural differences. I have an energetic personality but, believe it or not, I am an introvert.  Which simply means I need my solitude to recharge and prepare for another day. I have a bachelors in arts education and masters in nonprofit management. I currently teach high school art but hope to move to education development or programing. On my free time I love reading and trying to learn something new.
