Salaam! 

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. My parents and extended family are from Bangladesh. Though I try to incorporate the best of both cultures in my daily life, I would identify as more American than Bangladeshi. However, first and foremost, I identify myself as a Muslima.  

I work for the federal government as a pharmacist program manager, which I find very rewarding, Alhamdulillah. I’m a total extrovert filled with wanderlust. I’m also definitely a nerd (you’ve been warned), but still very down to earth and practical.

I was previously married for less than a year. Just like any hardship, it was certainly a lesson learned given by the Almighty to help me navigate this world. It was also a reminder to be grateful and humble for all the blessings. Kindness indeed begins with the deep understanding that we all struggle.

I’m truly blessed with a loving family and an amazing group of friends, Alhamdullilah. Now that I am well-established, I’m looking for a best friend and partner to build a beautiful and loving family with, insha'Allah. 

My Ideal Match:
-Someone who is Islamically practicing and/or at least has the drive to learn more about deen to become a better person each day and achieve Jannah together.
-Someone who is ambitious and driven towards his career goals and interests.
-Someone I can grow old, enjoy life with, and more importantly, nerd out with ?
-Someone with IQ and EQ. 
-Someone who values self-care, health, and wellness.
-Ideal characteristics: patient, loyal, honest, kind, caring, forgiving. Of course I would also like him to be a little adventurous and taller than me (I'm 5'7.5”…almost 5’8”).

-Dealbreakers: smoking, drinking, gambling, unclassy behavior, poor communicator, lack of empathy, irresponsible. Overly self-absorbed, immature, or materialistic (I like the finer, luxurious things in life, and do indulge once in a while. However, I’m very mindful of being financially responsible, and expect my spouse to be the same). 

Ultimately, I am looking for someone to become my best friend, insha'Allah :)
