Salaam/hi!

In short, I'm an upbeat, sarcastic, ambitious, independent, quirky woman looking for a practicing, Muslim, professional man for a match.  Great hair would be a plus!  

In long, I grew up in a small town in the Midwest, went to Chicago for much of school, and have all but settled in Atlanta for my career.  I'm the middle child in my family, with an older sister (married) and younger brother (single).  No worries - I don't think I have middle-child syndrome.  Actually, I might be the favorite.  I can't blame 'em!

My family is really big on traveling, and I guess I've inherited that.  I spent most of my childhood summers in the motherland (aka Bangladesh) and have vacationed in many other countries and across the US.  Other hobbies include baking, crafts, hiking, volunteering, loving my pet parakeets, going to Disney World and Universal (any theme park, really), making costumes, talking on the phone, and keeping up with internet memes.  I'm especially good at being sleep-deprived, eating dessert, and listening to the same 90s hit songs over and over again.  I'm a bit of a thrill seeker as well.  I love heights, roller coasters, scary movies, and jumped out of an airplane when I turned 18.  

For work, I'm an emergency medicine physician although I think I missed my calling to be a stand-up comedian.  In any case, alhamdulillah, I love my job and try to find ways to make patients laugh while I'm at it.
