MSC DEVELOPMENT STUDIES, SOAS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

I am an aspiring academic and policy analyst, wanting to focus on the role of development discourse in public policy and international aid/intervention. Throughout my academic life I have been active in student politics, holding various positions in the Student Union. Furthermore I have embarked on several entrepreneurial projects and have taken part in a number of highly competitive internships, in addition to volunteering for domestic and international organisations. In my free time I like to focus on the Quran and listen to my favourite podcasts, as well as spending time with my family and friends.
