      I am a practicing Muslimah and would describe myself as spiritual, empathetic and independent. I consider myself a mix of both East and West. I constantly strive to become a better Muslim and represent Islam at its best. I work on balancing both deen and duniya, enjoy life as it comes and grateful for everything Allah has granted me. Professionally, I provide mental health therapy and counseling to adults at a community mental health agency. On my free time, I spend my time with my friends and family, volunteering, hiking, kayaking, attending Islamic lectures at the mosque and Al Maghrib, listening to Islamic lectures on podcast/YouTube, running, baking and traveling.
