Assalamualaikum, it's a pleasure to meet you!

Born and raised in northeast Ohio, I am on the search to find my other half.

I currently work in Human Resources for the transit authority (oh gosh, the stories I could tell; they would be never ending) and hold a BA in Public Affairs and MA in Public Administration.

I'd like to consider myself straight forward and to the point. I'm calm, patient, understanding, and non-confrontational; it takes a lot to annoy me. I am more Type B and have a let it go attitude. More of a utilitarian, pragmatic, and minimalist.

In my free time, I enjoy the arts, spending hours absorbed in books, and exploring events and festivals throughout the city. I am naturally an introvert and like to spend time with my close friends and family on the weekends.  Although I'm an introvert, I have trained myself overtime to become an extrovert when need be and can mix between settings.

My hobbies include playing the violin in the community orchestra and participating in the local community theater.

Islam and Deen is very important to me. I am always trying to improve myself and become closer to Allah. I do my best to keep my salat 5 times a day, fast during ramadan, regularly read Qur'an, and have 100% iman. I am currently studying Arabic, and like to attend Islamic lectures when offered at the masjid and online programs like Al Maghrib. I also currently serve on the board for CAIR Cleveland.
