I specialize in creating captivating stories, using just the right words to inspire and connect with my audience. My mission is to ignite imagination and forge meaningful connections through the power of language.

I possess a comprehensive educational background that encompasses a Master's in Arts (TESOL) from North South University, where I am currently enrolled and maintaining a commendable CGPA of 3.70. Prior to this, I successfully completed a Bachelor's in Arts (Linguistics) from the same institution, achieving a noteworthy CGPA of 3.81. My academic journey commenced at Viqarunnisa Noon College for my Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) studies during 2011-2012. My Secondary School Certificate (SSC) during 2009-2010 was also at Viqarunnisa Noon School. This diverse educational trajectory reflects my commitment to academic excellence across various disciplines.

I began my career with content writing as a part-time job when I was pursuing my undergraduate degree. It was a small start-up business which helped me learn a lot, from client dealing to content management. Later on, I continued in the same field as a freelancer working for a third-party agency and joined the British Council as an intern and later as an executive. My work revolved around writing as I was working on their annual report as well as managing a portion of the social media posts. Unfortunately, due to pandemic, the organisation decided to terminate all contracts. As a result, I was unemployed and searching for an appropriate position which turned out to be quite challenging. Finally, I decided to join a school as a teacher, refusing to stay at home. But I kept trying to get into writing and got an alluring opportunity to join the Commercial Supplement team at The Daily Star. My job role at TDS not only tickles my creative side but also challenges me to learn new things. Being in the commercial side of writing, I also get to deal with clients and take interviews.
