    I grew up in West Texas, rode horses, and did midwestie things I guess. Currently I live in LA. I like to do activities, and have recently finished my Ph.D on brain and breast cancer. I am also working as a part time professor while I apply to other programs. In my spare time I've run 4 marathons, and 2 half marathons. I also play soccer. I am interested in pursuing other hobbies that I can share with my significant other. 

I have one sister, and grew up in mixed household. My mother is an american muslim convert and my dad in a middle eastern arab. I consider myself american in culture. 

I don't watch alot of tv, nor do I watch constantly, but some of my favorite shows, are Doctor who, sherlock, and star trek TNG, and breaking bad. 

Lastly, I consider myself a moderate muslim who balances deen and dunya. I think praying is important, and I went on Umrah several years ago I really enjoyed it. I do wish I could speak arabic, iA one day.
