One of the most impactful experiences of my life was a trip exploring northern California – I was thrilled by adventures in sea kayaking in addition to hiking in the redwood forests and along cliffs overlooking the ocean. I hold opportunities to experience the beauty and complexity of Allah’s creation in high esteem, and I am blessed that my work in medicine and research provides me with that every day. I have an active and health-conscious lifestyle and love to train in the gym and take long, meditative walks. Times spent learning and laughing with friends and family are invaluable to me; I place a high priority on caring for loved ones, be it in the form of a well-cooked meal or a sympathetic ear. Ultimately, the main driver and source of comfort in my life is my faith in and relationship to Allah swt. I'd like to build a life with someone who has a strong sense of integrity and centers themselves around their commitment to their deen, and who prioritizes a supportive, caring, and playful partnership.
