Religion-wise: I consider myself a practising Muslim who follows the Quran & Sunnah. I wear the hijab and dress modestly. For me, it's important to prioritize religion over culture. I try to regularly seek Islamic knowledge through various resources and implement it as best as I can in my life. My favourite speakers include: Omar Suleiman and Mufti Menk. 

Education-wise: I completed my BSc in Biology in 2018 and am currently wrapping up my MSc in Biology (hoping to graduate by the end of the year, inshaAllah!). My future plans are flexible but I would like to pursue a career in teaching because I find it very rewarding. 

Personality: I consider myself an ambitious and hard-working person, but also someone who is grounded and realistic. My friends and family would describe me friendly, a good listener, and an easy person to talk to. I'm pretty easygoing; growing up, my family moved around a lot (Canada, USA, Qatar) so experiencing different lifestyles allowed me to become adaptable. 

Hobbies/Interests: I love reading and writing, specifically mystery/thriller novels. As an avid Muslim reader, I feel it’s difficult to find appropriate mainstream books that serve both as leisurely entertainment as well as a source of learning. Islamic fiction is a powerful yet less explored genre and I hope to publish my own work to contribute towards it, inshaAllah. I like going out and playing sports and board games with my two younger siblings. I also love to bake! I enjoy watching, and listening to, psychology and true-crime related documentaries.

(With regards to relocation, I am willing to consider it if the right match is found and it should not be a problem because I have dual-national citizenship.)
