  I come from a close-knit, Pakistani family that was raised in America. Like most first-generation kids, you could say I’m a mix of both worlds. I love bhangra, chai, Urdu poetry, Bollywood movies, etc., but still can’t get enough of How I Met your Mother and Marvel Movies. Ultimately, involvement in the Islamic community is perhaps my biggest passion and I have held leadership roles in various organizations since high school. I always say my goal is to one day know the Qur’an as well as I know Harry Potter.
