About Me

I am a Mass Communication and Journalism graduate from Khulna University, building a multifaceted career at the intersection of media, leadership, and community development. My academic journey has provided me with a strong foundation in storytelling, audience engagement, and digital ethics.

My experience extends from facilitating educational initiatives for marginalized children to leading student-led career development strategies. I am driven by the belief that effective communication can empower communities and create lasting social change.

Expert in digital tools like Kobo Toolbox and NVivo, and a skilled content creator using Adobe Creative Suite, I focus on bridging gaps through digital media and stakeholder management.
