Currently:

Human-Centered Design Ph.D. candidate specializing in the impact of emerging technology on minority communities. 

Recently presented on AI and emerging technology at a prominent local mosque.

Passionate about visual thinking, creative problem-solving, and fostering equitable technological advancement.

Graduated with a ‘Graduate Thesis Award’ for my work in equity-driven design from Pacific Northwest College of Art with a Masters in Collaborative Design. I am grateful to have received a fellowship (2020-2021) in the Equity and Social Action Committee in the Pacific Northwest College of Art and was also awarded the BIPOC Leadership Scholarship.

Additionally, I was the Captain of the UAE Women’s national cricket team (2009-2019).

In May 2024, I had the privilege of presenting at the esteemed Masjid Darussalam, a prominent mosque in the Chicago area. I discussed the fundamentals of AI, its potential impact on our lives, and strategies for navigating this evolving technology.

The event was particularly meaningful as it was tailored for women from diverse backgrounds, ages, and careers, many of whom had limited exposure to AI. It was a rewarding experience to answer questions, gather feedback, and introduce this marginalized community to the cutting-edge emerging technology of today. I aspire to continue this work and serve my community and the Ummah through such projects and opportunities.
