Hi, I’m

I’m a first-gen human rights scholar, storyteller, and public interest communicator. 

My work crosses disciplines and sectors, from atrocity prevention research and human rights programming to multi-channel communications and development campaigns, guided by the belief that knowledge should never be gatekept.

I’m always open to conversation, collaboration, and poking at troublesome questions together. Shoot me a message and let’s chat!

Fun fact: “Azadi” is the Urdu word for freedom!

My Career is Rooted in Care

From community college classrooms to tackling graduate research in genocide and mass atrocity prevention (GMAP), I am guided by a dedicated commitment to accessible communication, ethical scholarship, and social justice reform.

My work spans sectors, particularly across academia, human rights NGOs, and strategic communications campaigns. 

Certified Research Nerd

On an ideal day, you’ll likely find me poking through philosophical rabbit holes, deep-diving in academic journals, wrangling datasets, and formatting footnotes. 

My interests are interdisciplinary, intersecting political science, international relations, cultural anthropology, public policy, pop culture, and more.

From Theory to Practice

I approach every project with creativity and innovation, whether that’s knocking on newsroom doors, writing press releases, policy briefs, and executive talking points, juggling cross-pillar communications campaigns, securing development proposals, or navigating chaotic event-planning processes.

I love learning new tools and continuing to evolve my skill set! Last year, I forced myself to get over my fear of Premiere Pro and explore video creation; this year, I’m experimenting with survey design, data visualization, and photojournalism.
