have an adventurous spirit! I like outdoor activities like boating, biking, group hikes and going on ski trips and I tend to be the one to coordinate. I was born and raised in the east coast, but lived on both coasts. My friends tell me that I'm friendly since I like to talk to people old and new, social because I tend to organize gatherings, and caring because I'm a good listener with empathy and willing to help out others in need. Being a physician is reflective of my work ethic and dedication towards helping others. After taking a course in emotional intelligence, I've enjoyed bonding with people by being allowing open vulunerability, yet on the Meyers Briggs scale, I'm an introvert. I've found a good balance in my lifestyle of enjoyable activities and community service. always been excited to find a partner, but had to focus on my medical education and settling into my career, and now that I'm comfortable there, I can't wait to start the rest of my life with someone with similar values and lifestyle. I look forward to enjoying even the simpler things in life with my husband -- whether exploring nature, swinging on a swing, throwing a frisbee or going on weekend trips together. . Upholding Muslim values and giving back to the community to improve the situation for others less fortunate is meaningful to me.
