Hi there and salaams!

I'm a goal-oriented hijabi born and raised in Toronto, working as a public health professional to improve mental health services for vulnerable communities. I would describe myself as someone grounded and principled, but at the same time deeply empathetic with an optimistic personality. 

In my free time, I like hitting the gym, reading poetry and exploring new hiking trails in my locale. I also enjoy volunteering in the Muslim community, Netflixing with my family, and learning acrylic and watercolour painting. 

I'm looking for a guy who knows how to be a gentleman, enjoys quality time, and likes meaningful conversations. My most important need in a relationship is someone who tries to listen and understand.
