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

I work for the federal government as a pharmacist program manager, which I find very rewarding Alhumdullilah. I am an extrovert and love to travel and explore. I am definitely a nerd, but still down to earth and practical.

I was previously married for 10 months and learned that every hardship is indeed a lesson from the Almighty to help us navigate this world. I have also learned that every blessing is a reminder to be grateful and humble. Kindness indeed begins with the deep understanding that we all will struggle.

I am blessed with a loving family and an amazing group of friends Alhamdullilah. Now that I am well established, I am 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 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 and enjoy life 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").
 
-Dealbreakers: smoking, drinking, gambling, unclassy behavior, poor communicator, lack of empathy, irresponsible. Overly self-absorbed, immature, or materialistic. 

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