Hi Beyond Chai team! I’m an ObGyn currently based in the UK (thought I’m considering a move to the Middle East). I’m a bit of a transplant, being of desi origin but having grown up as an expat in the Middle East, gone to medical school and residency in Ireland, and then doing my research and now working in London. I did go to American schools and so have a strangely mid Atlantic accent common for expat kids. I am 41 years old and loving life, but would love to find a partner to settle down with. I don’t seem to mesh well with the Muslim community in the uk for whatever reason. (I have my theories!) I’ve always been drawn to North American Muslim communities, perhaps because those were the other expat I grew up with, perhaps because our expression, warmth, culture and education seemed largely the same. 

Because my mother was terminally I’ll during my formative adult years I didn’t do my residency in the US as I had planned and instead stayed closer to home. This does mean that work wise, I am not sure my qualifications translate to the US, although canada is an option as some areas do accept my British and European qualifications. And Ofcourse someone open to moving is always an option as well! 

This is a long winded way of asking - do you have anyone you think I might match with / do you take uk based Muslim professionals?
