I am 24 years old, my parents are from Pakistan but I have lived and grew up in Canada. I recently graduated with a Bachelors Degree in psychology with honours. I am currently pursuing a masters degree in Counselling Psychology, as I aspire to become a psychologist and offer counselling services catered to the Muslim community in particular. This is very important to me, because I believe that every person has been given unique blessings and talents from Allah (SWT) which they need to use in His way, serving His creation. 

In terms of my hobbies, I love to write. I have always wanted to publish my own book one day. I also enjoy painting, reading, travelling, and trying new activities in and outside of the city with family and friends. 
 
Having a sense of community is very important to me. I have been involved in the Calgary Muslim community since a very young age. Alhumdullilah, Allah has blessed me with leadership roles. Currently I volunteer with a local muslim organization organizing workshops for sisters and the larger community in general. Its important for me to give back to a community that has raised me to be the person I am today. As great as organizing events can be, It is also important for me to be gaining knowledge and working on developing myself and becoming a better person and Muslim. I constantly try to stay connected to and learn my deen on my own through various online and in person courses and give talks in the city to younger Muslim girls. 

I want to get married because I feel that I have a lot to offer and give in a relationship. I want to share my life with someone, and raise my own family for the sake of Allah. Although I want a career, I would never let that get in the way of my commitments to my husband and children. Family is very important to me, and I believe there is a reason why Allah has put so much emphasis on keeping family ties.
