What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to public policy, governance, climate, social protection, or development work through research, program coordination, stakeholder engagement, and evidence-based policy analysis.

I've supported public policy research, teaching, and program operations across PIDE, Deutsche Welthungerhilfe e.V., the Sustainable Social Development Organization, and the Environmental Protection Agency Islamabad. My work spans policy analysis, documentation, stakeholder coordination, workshop logistics, and environmental compliance.

I'm especially interested in governance, climate change, peace and security, child protection, and political participation. My MPhil research examines how climate disasters and governance failures can increase risks of violent extremism after Pakistan’s 2022 floods.
