I was raised in Los Angeles most of my life. It took me longer than expected to earn a college degree, Alhamdulillah I finally managed to do it this year. I moved to Ohio recently for a job I landed with Amazon. It's difficult living in a new state for the first time without friends & family but I'm doing my best to adjust.  Now, the fun part, I love to explore, science intrigues me, especially technology (the stuff I can't do myself), I'm terrible at math, on my free time I enjoy hikes! I'm happiest standing somewhere overlooking the mountains or ocean, sunsets, lots of tea, boba & coffee in a boutique/hipster type of places (they are nice to sit in), I enjoy museums, art, I was an active member of MSA in college, I love to volunteer & stay connected to non-profits to offer an extra set of hands whenever I can, I prefer religious events over cultural,  I try to hit the gym at least 3-4 times a week, fitness is important to me, HOWEVER, with all that said, I have long work hours now so its difficult to find time do a lot of the things I've listed. But it's contained in my heart. The travel bug bit me back in 2010 & hasn't left me since. I think this is important, I don't cook very much but if it comes down to it I can get creative in the kitchen. I'm a sucker for Bollywood but I wouldn't mind the dabka (joke). Lastly, I've put marriage aside for the longest because I had to work to support my mother. Alhamdulillah we are in a better place now. I'm very optimistic about this platform. May Allah reward you for your efforts here.
