I am a practicing hijabi of Pakistani descent (punjabi), born and raised in the US.
I received my Masters in Public Health and currently work as a researcher.  
Family oriented--4 siblings
My friends say I'm funny, but I just say what's on my mind. They also describe me as “generous and thoughtful.”
I am very athletic and love working out. That being said, I am also a foodie (not to be confused with a glutton).
I like to spend quality time with family and friends. I enjoy going out (coffee, etc.), learning new things, and figuring out how to be a better person one day at a time. Sometimes I fail. Sometimes I succeed.
Ironically, I'm shy at first and depending on your disposition I warm up. I'm open-minded and stylish within the limits of Islam.
I love to smile and to spark smiles in those around me as well.
My perfect Sunday afternoon is in a coffee shop with delightful company laughing over the crazy happenings in life. I really value deep connections with people and make an effort to keep in touch with my friends on a regular basis. The people I love mean the world to me.
I'm an obsessive cleaner in my free time.
Sleep is my best friend/fiend.

Who I’m looking for:
A practicing Muslim constantly striving to seek Allah's pleasure (prays, fasts, etc.)
Good balance between deen and dunya: It is important to be critical of this world but able to enjoy the "halal" fruits of it.
Someone who can make me laugh, but also understands the beauty of a quiet moment. Has opinions and doesn’t mind if I don't agree with all of them.
Someone who has a good heart, is strong yet *humble*, and one who really appreciates and values women. I grew up in a culture of many double standards so I am not interested in any of that.
A working professional (I'm forced to make this a requirement as it seems to be an *option* for some guys these days)
Someone not in it for the superficial short haul.
non-smoker/non-drinker
