My faith and connection with Allah (swt) come foremost in my life. Then come my family and friends. I love to read, write, practice yoga, meditate, hike, and stay up to date on current events. I love to laugh and make those around smile. I’m fascinated by all things psychology, mental health, and counseling. Presently, I’m in graduate school at Columbia University studying Clinical Psychology. My end goal to get my doctorate within the same field in sha Allah. I was born in Karachi, Pakistan. My family relocated to the states when I was one, and I grew up in New Jersey.
