Biography

I am a dynamic academician with nine years of teaching experience at Lahore College For Women University-Pakistan, a qualified geographer, and an Urban Informatics Analyst. Holding a deep commitment to advancing geographical knowledge, I have authored over 20 publications in both national and international journals and have been a frequent presenter at conferences, contributing significantly to the fields of geography and urban informatics. Driven by a passion for promoting geography, I serve as the Advisor of the Geographical Society at Lahore College for Women University, where I am involved in organizing events that not only showcase new geospatial insights but also aim to facilitate interdisciplinary research. With a blend of academic competence and dedication to fostering community engagement, I stand as a key influencer in advocating for geography in different fields such as urban planning, healthcare management, and climate studies. My interests are aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 11: Cities and Communities, focusing on improving cities, healthcare, and food security to make the world a better place.
