Summary

Moved to the U.S. in December 2022 after spending 15 months in a refugee camp in Abu Dhabi following the takeover of Afghanistan. Completed high school and am now pursuing my passion for cybersecurity in college. With a strong commitment to increasing female representation in this field, I aim to empower girls in Afghanistan and those affected by war. Through education and advocacy, I aspire to inspire young women to overcome challenges and pursue their dreams in technology and beyond.
