I grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh before arriving in Washington D.C. to pursue my undergraduate studies at American University, followed by graduate studies at Strayer University. I moved to Canada after that, where I spent 20 years before making a move to Houston, Texas in 2018.

I began my career in education at William B. Travis High School with FBISD, and currently work at Lawrence E. Elkins High School as a Succeeding in Academic and Independent Living Skills (SAILS) teacher and case manager. It is a role that feels so fulfilling after having a career in the corporate sector, and every day in my work inspires me and allows me to grow.

I like to spend my free time with my family and friends, and my hobbies include fishing, off-roading and nature trailing.
