I am currently a 21yr old law student and gender-equality activist with a deep love and passion for development work. I embarked on a fascinating journey alone to Afghanistan at the age of 17 years in pursuit of ‘truth’ and understanding following a childhood passion for women’s rights in Afghanistan. Since then,I have travelled to Afghanistan 5 times volunteering to assist and research into gender equality and Afghan legal reform. It was there that I also found a profession in teaching, sharing and giving compassion to the Afghan children.

Apart from my work, I am also a traditional and lyrical dancer and have performed internationally, using many of my performances to support cross-cultural initiatives and raise funds for non-for-profit education projects in developing communities. I do this seasonally. I have taught dance in the past but I am now engaged with exploring dance in its spiritual and expressive form and sentiments. My dream is learn dance in an ashram in Rajasthan and also spend a small part of my life teaching its spiritual and expressive aspects. Besides dancing, I really enjoy reading, writing, travelling, and casual film-making.
