MY BIO
Imaginative. Hard-Working. Creative.
I was born and raised in Langley, BC. I am the oldest of four daughters and have one older brother.
I grew up on a hobby farm caring for cattle, goats, chickens, and growing all our own produce.
My approach to life is very dichotomous. I am holistic and spiritual yet also very scientific and logical.
My career aspiration is to become a licensed Social Worker. My passion and purpose both align with my career and path as I wish to address the barriers facing young girls and their access to education on a micro and macro level.
​
In my personal life, I love hiking, weight training, kayaking, boating, fishing, and gardening. I also enjoy creating through film photography, calligraphy, typography, and writing. I love sports. I played soccer competitively as a child and teenager. I'm a big Canucks fan as well.
PASSION & PURPOSE
Every Great Dream Begins With A Dreamer
My passion and purpose closely align with the path I choose to take in my life. In my career, my purpose is to be an ally and advocate for people facing systemic challenges.
Equal access to education has been a passion of mine, reflected through my volunteer and advocacy work. I enjoy looking at the social determinants of health and assessing which barriers are present, and working with the appropriate parties to assess and address these barriers to find sustainable solutions.
I'm also passionate about erasing the prevalent stigma surrounding mental health and seeking help. I have personally experienced the language and beliefs surrounding mental health in my community of South Asian Muslims.
As a social worker, I would be in a privileged position to be a voice for my community to erase the stigma.
​
Though passion and purpose alone aren't enough to sustain a career and business, they are the compass to which I know following will lead me to a fulfilled life.
