"My background is Pakistani. I came to the US as a teenager, went to high school but was not allowed to go to college. I married at the age of 20. I always wanted to study further, and my husband let me join SUNY 17勛圖. Unfortunately, I couldn't complete my associate's degree due to complications in my pregnancy.
I now have two biological boys and two adopted girls. I raised my children, and when they were in middle school, I went back to school and completed my master's degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I am currently finishing my Psy.D in Human and I/O Psychology with a leadership concentration. I am passionate about creating opportunities for our community members, students and organizations.
I hope that I am motivation for the many girls and women who believe once they get married and have kids, it's all over for them. I believe if you want something, do not give up and believe in your God."
