Let me just preface this by saying: I am very bad at talking about myself.  ? Okay here we go.

I'm a pretty laid back person, very positive minded. I value politeness and manners; I think it says a lot about people. I really admire how genuinely kind and polite our Prophet (saw) was, so I love witnessing that characteristic in others, and I make a conscious effort to nurture that in myself. 

I have a great sense of humor, and my friends will tell you I love a good laugh. I've been described by people who know me as calm, trustworthy, creative, and generous. Recently, I've been more inclined to start traveling. I had a lovely trip to Europe last year, and am looking forward to many more adventures. I forgot how much I loved traveling, so in addition to being a life companion, finding a travel companion is a bonus! 

I have a wide variety of interests; from marketing to home decor to construction work lol. I love learning and reading; my book of the moment is the classic: How to Win Friends and Influence People. I'm very health conscious, but I'm human, and the struggle is definitely real sometimes. I've restored my habit of going to the gym regularly. I actually really enjoy lifting weights, which is something I never would've imagined myself doing.   InshaAllah it sticks for good this time. :) 

My deen is very important to me, and I love being around people who bring out the best qualities in myself. I wouldn't say that I'm a "serious" student of knowledge, but whenever I can I’ll attend or listen to AlMaghrib seminars or lectures to keep my Iman high and improve upon my Islamic knowledge. I also recently discovered podcasts and audiobooks and they've been life changing. LIFE CHANGING I SAY. 

Alhamdulilah, I'm so thankful for who I am and the type of person I turned out to be, but I know there is always room for improvement. Constantly striving to be better version of myself is important to me, and I hope to marry someone who shares that view.
