I completed my Bachelors in Environmental Science and Policy in 2016 and am now completing my Masters in Global Policy. I look forward to going into the field of international environmental development and inshallah improving the world. I fight and will continue to fight for the equity of people in the US and abroad. Issues that are very important to me include equal rights for all, water security, education, domestic abuse, homelessness, and disabilities. I identify as a liberal Muslim; I'm strong in my beliefs and practices of Islam, but I am also open to and respectful of all. Religion comes with maintaining a balance. I hope to become a better person and a better Muslim throughout my life. I believe I am caring, hard-working, ambitious, kindhearted, outgoing, open-minded, and adventurous. I truly value the importance of family and friends. My family consists of my parents, my two younger sisters, and our cat. Both my parents are working, one of my sisters works, and the other is finishing her Bachelors. Being away from home for university, study abroad, fellowships, and work has allowed me to further see the importance of having and creating a strong, supportive, loving, and close-knit family.
