As-salaamu alaykum,

My name is Reshma. I am 30-years old and was born and raised in New York. I graduated in 2014 with my Masters in Physician Assistant studies. I now work as a Cardiothoracic Physician Assistant at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, NY.  I see work as a means to have the life I want, and I enjoy helping others.

I currently split my time between my apartment in Brooklyn and my parents' place in Poughkeepsie, NY.  I love reading (especially Harry Potter), listening to music, hiking, camping, traveling, and photography.  I do not follow a specific sport consistently but do catch most major sporting events and a few times a year attend live games.  I wish to one day attend the Olympics (both summer and winter).  I am a moderate Muslim by that I mean I fast, pray as many times a day as I can (generally work days its just Fajr due to my schedule), keep halal, and I have performed Umrah before.  

My parents are from Mysore, Karnataka, India. My mom is currently employed but retiring at the beginning of next year and one my and my dad is retired. I have a younger brother who is in his 2nd year of radiology residency who isn't married.

Full disclosure, I got married in 2017 and moved to Houston, TX and then divorced in 2019. Turned out while on paper we were compatible in real life we were not, if you have questions I am more than willing to elaborate. 

I am looking for someone who is mature and responsible and a partner.  I like to cook (various different types of foods and always trying new recipes) so that is not a problem but I would like someone who is capable of splitting other chores at home.  I also want someone who is open to exploring other cultures and does expect us to adhere to one culture.  I would like someone who is ok with my parent's living nearby as I have no objection to their family living nearby or even with us.

I wish you luck on your search.

Reshma
