    I'm a Pakistani-American woman living in Maryland with my parents. I currently work as a lead designer at Deloitte, where I work within the commercial side of consulting on tech projects - particularly designing and developing websites and mobile applications as well as proposals and presentations. I studied Political Science at American University and graduated in 2012. Upon graduating, I worked at a non-profit (Amnesty International) before moving out to California for a product design program and eventually working for a few different startups in the bay area. Next year, I plan on applying to MBA programs with a focus on entrepreneurship or a specialized masters in Human-Computer Interaction.

I'd consider myself a social introvert who loves to spend time with people who make me laugh (i.e. friends and family). I have few close friends, but I trust them with all my heart. Some of my hobbies are: playing the piano, drawing, creating things (such as greeting cards for friends, arranging flowers, making music), baking (dark chocolate chiffon cake is my favorite), hiking, walking in nature, traveling (I went to France Italy and Monaco most recently), participating in diverse and fun group activities like go-karting and game nights, meditating, and drinking chai. 

In terms of my character, I was quite liberal in the past but would now bucket myself as more moderate in my thinking and have come closer to God in more recent times. I pray namaz regularly, but I wouldn't say I am super religious so much as spiritual and meditative. 

I'm looking for a companion (preferably Pakistani or Indian-Muslim) who is mature, friendly, reliable, responsible, loves to spend time with friends/family and participate in fun activities - such as go-karting, indoor skydiving, mini-golfing, game nights, etc. Fun in the mundane is always excellent. But I'm open to trying new things together. Additionally, I value old-fashioned people who are also liberal-minded to a degree. I love people with a good sense of humor who are friendly and kind, and who would be your best friend above all else. Intelligence and being self-aware are also very important, and while it would be a nice-to-have to be with a man who is in the medical profession, I am open to other options as long as the individual is passionate and ambitious but not arrogant. Another nice-to-have: taller than 5'9" and someone I am physically attracted to.
