概要

As a passionate Project Management Professional, I have diverse experience in program development, implementation and carrying out research in different projects in the development, charity and education sector in the U.K and Pakistan. My expertise lies in communication, management, resource mobilization and developing sustainable programs for women's empowerment, child rights, education, community development, research, documentation and forging partnerships.

I have developed women's empowerment strategies for Haringey Council in the U.K, educational projects in slums in Karachi and partnerships and fundraising with NGOs and charity organizations. I am additionally a British Council certified trainer for their Citizenship Education and Community Engagement Program and have trained young people in community service initiatives.
I have organized fundraisers for disaster relief such as for earthquake victims in Pakistan, Thar drought and for women's and child rights charities working in the social sector.

I possess more than 10 years of experience of working in charity, public and private sector both in campaigns, communication, administration, advocacy, fundraising and community capacity building. Furthermore, I also currently serve as visiting faculty for Development Studies Course at NED University of Engineering and Technology.
From lobbying MPs in the U.K on education, to working with slum children on reading projects, my passion for human rights and community development has given me the exposure of working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and equipped me with the skills to successfully deliver projects in different contexts.
