I love finding the beauty in life; flowers in bloom, beautiful breezes, frozen raindrops. I love making things from DIY wood projects to baking and gardening, and am resourceful and creative. I am fond of animals in general, and find it difficult to imagine myself ever living without a cat - they bring so much joy and comfort in our household.  I'm a lover of languages. I grew up speaking English and Arabic, and taught myself Korean as a young adult. If I hadnt't studied design,  I very well may have majored in linguistics. My interest and curiosity around languages has been naturally linked to culture as well, and I enjoy travelling to learn about and experience other parts of the world. I can easily see myself moving outside the United States.

I am easy going and open minded, but I have a stubborn streak at times.  I am introverted and deeply value my personal time to recharge, but I am not shy. Only those closest to me get to see my crazy side. I envision myself insha'Allah becoming a mother and nurturing a creative and joy filled home environment, and I am looking for a partner who will take an active part in that. I am blessed to have been born into a practicing Muslim family and to have chosen Islam for myself as an adult. That being said, I am still constantly learning and trying to better my relationship with Allah, His Messenger (saw), and the Quran. My understanding of Islam is that we are constantly striving to better ourselves for the sake of Allah. It is a heavy responsibility, but I pray to be able to impart my children with a solid understanding of the deen as well insha'Allah.
