 have an adventurous spirit! I like outdoor activities like boating, biking, group hikes and going on ski trips and I tend to be the one to coordinate. I was born and raised in the east coast, but lived on both coasts. My friends tell me that I'm friendly since I like to talk to people old and new, social because I tend to organize gatherings, and caring because I'm a good listener with empathy and willing to help out others in need. Being a physician is reflective of my work ethic and dedication towards helping others. After taking a course in emotional intelligence, I've enjoyed bonding with people by being allowing open vulunerability, yet on the Meyers Briggs scale, I'm an introvert. I've found a good balance in my lifestyle of enjoyable activities and community service. always been excited to find a partner, but had to focus on my medical education and settling into my career, and now that I'm comfortable there, I can't wait to start the rest of my life with someone with similar values and lifestyle. I look forward to enjoying even the simpler things in life with my husband -- whether exploring nature, swinging on a swing, throwing a frisbee or going on weekend trips together. It also feels so natural and refreshing to pray outdoors, humbled by Allah swt's creation. Upholding Muslim values and giving back to the community to improve the situation for others less fortunate is meaningful to me.
