Biography

Hi! I'm a PhD Economics candidate and I'm from the vibrant city of Lahore, Pakistan. My areas of interest are concentrated around development economics with a feminist perspective to prevalent issues within countries, particularly those in South Asia. I was working as a Data Consultant for the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) during the Spring of 2023 and prior to joining the PhD program, I worked as a Research Assistant (Punjab), Accountability and Inclusion for the Subnational Governance Project led by Oxford Policy Management.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, walking, hiking and having heartful chai and food sessions with my friends.
