My friends and family would describe me as light hearted, kind, thoughtful, funny, and bubbly. 

My family is Pakistani but we moved from Qatar to Calgary, Alberta when I was two years old. Although I left Arabia at such a young age, I can’t quite say that Arabia has left me. I adore tabouli and fatoush so much so that I probably make them more often than my Arab friends. 

I have a bachelors degree in psychology and currently I am completing my masters degree in Counselling Psychology. I aspire to be a psychologist in the future and cater my services particularly to the Muslim community in sha Allah!

Alhumdulilah, I am grateful that I had the opportunity to dedicate a part of my younger years to learning the meaning and tafseer Qur’an at a deep level. I really value being connected to Allah SWT book, and this is something I hope to share with my spouse and raise children who also understand and implement the Qu'ran. 

I regularly pursue and invest in avenues to develop myself as a Muslim, women and human being. I really try to practice what I preach and own up to things when I am in the wrong. As I move on in life, I want to grow and constantly become a better version of myself. 

In terms of my hobbies, I find my creativity flows best in the kitchen or in writing. My dream is to one day write and publish my very own book In shaa Allah. As for activities,  I find myself enjoying painting, exercising, and I find my curiosity presents me the willingness to stray from my comfort zone and try new activities such as ice skating, canoeing, or horseback riding within my city or the outskirts, especially with friends and family.

Currently, in between home and school responsibilities  I try to find ways I can give back to my community whether through volunteering or helping organize events.  As much as my heart is tied to acts of service, it is also just as important for me to continuously invest in developing myself through knowledge. I regularly take courses with institutes such as AlMaghrib, and alhumdulilalh had the incredible opportunity of leading my city's local AlMaghrib qabeelat as the Ameerah during my undergraduate years.
