           I was born in Bangladesh but moved to the US with my family at a young age. Growing up, I've had an interest in science, math and history. In the end, I decided to pursue my undergraduate studies in biology and am currently attending my 2nd year of dental school. I come from a traditionally Bengali family; though, I don't consider myself very cultural. But, I do love certain aspect of my culture like the language, clothing and food! Although my upbringing has been somewhat shaped by culture, my religion has played the greatest role in shaping me into the person I am. today. I try my best to live my life according to Islamic principles and wish that quality in a potential partner as well. 
I would describe myself as being a simple, down-to-earth and compassionate individual. When I'm not busy with school, I enjoy dedicating my time to the community by volunteering. In undergrad, I was actively involved in my MSA. Currently, I'm looking forward to volunteering my time at a free muslim-run clinic and put my dentistry skills to valuable use. I enjoy nature; so, naturally, hiking and going to parks are some of my favorite pastimes. I've alway been a bookworm and enjoy reading a good book in my free time. One of my goals for the future is travel to as many places as I can. I love the idea of experiencing different cultures and visiting new places. I like to keep a few close friends and spend most of my day with my family. I am committed to the relationships I have in life and hope to find an extraordinary friendship through the bond of marriage.
