What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can create educational content, manage digital platforms, lead community-focused projects, and grow editorial and web-design skills.

I am a highly motivated, academically driven student and emerging writer with over four years of experience in educational content development, web design, and community leadership.

I co-founded Mahida Academy, designed and maintained its WordPress site, and developed and delivered course content as a core instructor, demonstrating both technical and pedagogical strengths.

I founded and serve as Editor-in-Chief of Undercurrent online magazine, manage editorial strategy, and maintain a portfolio of published work on my personal blog and Substack; I am also a published co-author in The Weight of Small Things anthology.

My leadership experience includes elected student council roles, participation in the Aga Khan University Challenge, and coordinating over ten community and educational projects across multiple youth organizations, where I led communications and volunteer initiatives.
