I am a first-generation Pakistani American student driven by the belief that storytelling and service can reshape communities. I have maintained a top academic record while navigating displacement, loss, financial strains, and systemic barriers. However, all of these experiences sharpened my focus on advocacy and social impact. I hold multiple leadership roles across youth organizations, including founding and leading initiatives centered on dialogue, inclusion, and civic engagement. My work spans media, marketing, photography, and community education, with recognition from institutions such as Syracuse University, RIT, the Scholastic Awards, and New York State. I am particularly interested in public-facing work that amplifies underrepresented voices and addresses mental health, migration, and youth empowerment.
