Salaam!

I was born in Pakistan but have been in Canada since my late teens. I completed a double major in engineering and business during my undergraduate years. I worked in my field for a few years before my master's in engineering, for which I was awarded a full scholarship. Both degrees have been obtained from Canadian Universities. Since completing my master's I have been working for 3 years to date. I plan on pursuing an MBA in the future to further advance my career, but for now I am taking advantage of the educational opportunities my employer is offering to me.

I am the eldest of 3 children. I have two sisters and they and my parents reside in Pakistan. I belong to a family who has served in the armed forces and are doctors. I do miss my family and make it a point to try and visit yearly. 

Religion is important to me-it is a part of my life and a way of life. I have always observed fasts, pay zakat, donate to charitable organizations, and am working towards praying 5 times. I am also working towards understanding the Quran correctly. I would like my to instill these values in my family and have an Islamic household.

I'm a competitive runner (half marathons) and enjoy hiking in summer which is my favorite season. During the colder winter months, I am a regular at the gym and take part in HIIT classes.  I am also into playing sports cricket and softball. Currently, I am working on my skating skills as it is a big sport in Canada! I love traveling when I have the chance. Places that I have been to include most major cities in Canada/USA/UK, as well as Malaysia and Dubai. 

I enjoy reading about latest technology,enhancing Islamic knowledge as required and am working towards other genres. 
I am a major fan of Marvel/DC comics, as well as watching movies. I like trying new cuisines as long as they are halal, I also enjoy eating sushi/Italian/Pakistani (which is my favorite). I cook as well depending on the mood and how my day goes. I also volunteer my time. Currently, a volunteer with children in government tech programs.
