My thematic areas of work include but are not limited to: Agriculture Development, Environment & Climate Change, Education, Health and Nutrition, Community Development and Women Empowerment. Research excites me, bringing an impact in communities through my work fuels me! My recent engagements include deep involvement in humanitarian efforts, specifically focusing on flood response projects across Pakistan with CARE International, followed by contributing to a reproductive health initiative by UNFPA at Save the Children.Previously, I served as a Project/Partnerships Manager at Cynosure, a consulting firm dedicated to providing research and advisory services to the international development sector. In this capacity, I led partnerships, spearheaded proposal development efforts, liaised with stakeholders, and successfully delivered consulting projects across the thematic areas mentioned above. I have delivered on projects implemented across Pakistan and internationally, including Asia (Indonesia, Philippines), Africa (Ghana, Kenya), and Americas (Brazil, Colombia). I believe in hard work, growth mindset, perseverance, and consistently striving to bring added value to the organizations I serve.
