As a 26-year-old with a rich blend of experiences, my journey reflects a path of exploration, hard work, and adaptability. My educational journey began with my completion of the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) in 2017. Afterward, I pursued a degree in Botany at the University of Chittagong, driven by my love for nature and science. However, life had other plans for me, leading me to explore opportunities beyond academia.
During my time at university, I worked as a manager at MENSMARK, a fashion outlet. Managing all aspects of the business for three years gave me invaluable experience in leadership, customer service, and business operations.

Eventually, I found myself in Abu Dhabi, where I currently work in the private sector. Despite the shift in my career, my passion for creativity never faded. I channeled this passion into graphic design, honing my skills in Canva. As a self-taught designer, I have embraced the world of visual storytelling, helping clients create stunning designs for their brands and projects.
While my academic path was interrupted, my desire to complete my post-graduation remains strong. Education is a lifelong journey, and I believe that I can merge my past experiences with my future aspirations. My love for traveling and spending quality time with family and friends keeps me grounded, providing me with the inspiration to continue pushing forward.
In a fast-paced world where opportunities come from unexpected directions, my story is a testament to resilience and passion. I have embraced every challenge with an open mind, and I look forward to completing my educational journey while growing both professionally and personally.
