I always appreciated nature and wildlife, but ever since working at the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), that has increased to another level. I formerly worked at NWF as a Junior Tech Representative, and currently at Clean Fairfax Council as the Communication Coordinator. At Clean Fairfax, I organized the county’s official Earth Day event, for 5,000+ attendees. I also collaborated with the volunteers and staff to organize various environmental activities for children. There are many goals that I want to accomplish, and have a positive outlook on it.

- People from religious communities, such as the Muslim community, to be more involved with helping the environment. Many different religions preach about being tolerant to nature and help conserving it. First off, people should be aware about the issues concerning wildlife. The religious leader can speak about it in their ceremonies or speeches. Recently, I joined the board at Green Muslims as a Content Coordinator. I can't wait to start on the news projects!   

- The youth being involved with nature and wildlife. This can include nature hikes, activities and Eco green fairs, etc.

- The community being involved with food, such as gardening. Ron Finley is one of my inspirations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzZzZ_qpZ4w

 There are more ideas that I would like to share with you, but they are some details that I need to look over. What do you think? Please let me know. :-)

 

I like to go on nature hikes, ride bikes, rollerblading, going for a picnic, gardening, or just sitting outside enjoying the weather.

Taking long hot showers. I bet everyone does it once in a while, haha.

Sneaking out, because I am a rebel.

I have a short time in my life, and I want to use it wisely. I am trying to be the best that I can be, while making a difference in the world.

With a bachelor's degree in Communication major, concentrating in Media Production and Criticism, and minoring in Film and Media Studies. I have a vast amount of skills that I can bring to the table such as; marketing, filming and video editing, public relations, and so much more. I am always willing to learn new things along the way.

Meeting new people, and the good felling that I am making a difference in the world.

Allowing the youth to be more active in their community, to have a stronger connection with their environment and nature.
