A journey shaped by learning, leadership, & the spirit of giving back.
After graduating from Namal, I began my professional journey in software development and eventually grew into project management. Over eight years in the industry, I have worked with leading organizations and today serve as a project manager in a multinational company. Namal played an important role in shaping my foundation by supporting my entire degree through financial aid and giving me the space to build discipline, confidence, teamwork, and a strong work ethic. The experiences I gained in campus societies and activities helped shape my leadership style and guided me toward the professional path I follow today.
I was selected in the first Future 50 Leaders cohort by the World Economic Forum, an initiative that recognizes fifty emerging leaders globally with only three chosen from Pakistan. I serve as the elected Alumni President of my university, trusted by hundreds of graduates who voted for this role. I am also the founding curator of the Global Shapers Okara Hub which is part of the Global Shapers Community, and through this role I had the opportunity to represent my city and country in Geneva. The hub was created to empower youth and bring meaningful projects to my home city. I have received the Best Project Manager Award for four consecutive years and remain active in national level social, community, and climate related initiatives.
Focus on building strong skills, clear values, and consistent discipline. Opportunities open for those who take initiative and stay committed to learning. Use your time at Namal to develop both your professional competence and your sense of responsibility toward society. The habits, networks, and work ethic you build here will shape your future far more than you realize.
