I am a light-hearted, down to earth person. The first thing people notice about me is my smile. Islam is an important part of my daily life and I try to guide all my actions by its teachings. I look forward to attending Jummah every week at the masjid. 

I was born and raised in the US but also cherish my Pakistani roots. I currently live in the Chicago land area. My passion in life is to help others, which I try to fulfill to the best of my abilities daily by my profession as a physician. 

On the weekends, you will find me planning my next spontaneous weekend trip (most recent trip was to the Grand Canyon), exploring different coffee shops and restaurants in the city with a friend, attending a community youth masjid event, or spending time at home watching a movie with family.  I love animals, especially parrots, and I have 3 of my own. I also love the outdoors and enjoy activities such as hiking and ziplining. A hot air balloon ride is next on my bucket list!
