Having a strong passion for Environment and Human Right my current interest is to perform research on interdisciplinary topics that explore environmental policies from public perspectives. The idea to generate policies that people will not only accept but will willingly abide by and to create conditions that these policies not just benefit the environment but on larger scale can benefit the public as well. While exploring my interest every now and then I like to include other domains as well wherever possible.

While my most recent working experience has been about addressing the stakeholder perspective toward inclusion of conservation practices in coastal tourism. My past experiences also include the domain of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). I have always kept the sociological impact of research under great consideration to ensure application of said research can be possible, can support and produce positive impact toward local community.

In addition to social skills, some of the key points that help me in my career include my computer skill. I have been exceptionally good with Geoinformatics based software’s including ArcGIS and QGIS. I have also great set of skills when it comes to Statistical and Modeling software including Excel, SPSS and most importantly R. In addition to these software’s, I have also good grip on software’s associated with Graphic Designing such as Photoshop CorelDraw and Illustrator.

Volunteering is an essential part of my life and has been integral part of my routine since about 12 years now. My first volunteer experience starts from Highschool when I worked with a local foundation to educate needy children. Recently, after acquiring some computer skills I have been volunteering to help small artist to build their initial portfolio. This is because I have a great passion for art and really admire someone artists and their work.

Social justice with key focus on women right has always been an integral part of my values which is why I have also been working to kill social taboos in Pakistani society regarding women. I also volunteer for causes such as environmental advocacy and not very popular geopolitical issues.

Lastly, I have several hobbies but the top three are traveling, photography and meeting people. This is one of the reasons I usually go couch surfing in small town that are in middle of nowhere since it helps me in exploring new places, meeting new people, exchanging culture and take unique photographs. I also enjoy watching sport, mainly football and MMA. I watch a lot of animes and prefer ones that have plot twists rather than a happy ending. In my free time I write quote and my own life stories.
