خلاصہ

I am currently serving as a Policy Specialist at one of the leading think tanks in Pakistan - PILDAT. Here I am engaged in various youth, women and children empowerment projects. As a social policy graduate of the London School of Economics (LSE), I have made a strong mark in the social and international development sector in Pakistan through contributing towards improving the social policies in Pakistan. I have also remained as a Global Shaper of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and recently selected by the Children's Parliament Scotland as an Unfeartie. I also write for different international blogs at LSE on the issues like education, inequality, poverty and climate change. I hold a bachelors degree in economics and so having a background in economics and social policy has given me a strong grip on both the quantitative and qualitative skills, including rigorous analytical and strong numerical skills which I have been actively utilising for the socio-economic and political development of my country. I constantly remain eager to improve my skills and be a part of those organisations in which I can excel and improve my existing knowledge and skills as well as can contribute my expertise to work for a better Pakistan.
