Summary
I am a dedicated and highly skilled microbiologist with a strong academic background and extensive research experience. My work has primarily focused on the microbial degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and its potential biotoxicity in fish. During my master's thesis, I conducted in-depth research on this topic, which has been presented at international conferences and contributed to the understanding of antibiotic resistance in environmental pathways.
In addition to my research endeavors, I have honed my organizational and management skills through various roles in academia and the non-profit sector. As a Teaching Assistant, I contributed to postgraduate education in environmental microbiology, while my laboratory technologist roles allowed me to perform accurate laboratory tests and ensure the quality control of results.
My commitment to education extends beyond the laboratory as I have engaged in freelance teaching, creating audio lessons, and utilizing digital tools like Zoom and Google Classroom. Furthermore, I have gained valuable experience as a Coordinator for Lincoln Corner NUST, where I organized educational programs and promoted valuable resources, fostering a culture of learning and exploration.
My recent role as an Assistant Director at NUST International Office has allowed me to serve as the primary contact for international students, facilitating their transition and fostering a welcoming environment. I have also been involved in student exchanges and scholarships, managing records, and compiling internationalization data.
With a solid foundation in microbiology, strong digital skills, and a passion for education, I am well-equipped to contribute to research, education, and program management in the fields of microbiology, environmental science, and international student services.
My dedication to continuous learning is evident through my pursuit of additional certifications and coursework in various fields, including climate change, online teaching, and medical laboratory technology.
I possess exceptional communication and organizational skills, am adaptable to different work environments, and can work effectively under pressure. My proficiency in multiple languages, including English, Urdu, and Pushto, allows me to connect with a diverse range of individuals.
I am eager to bring my expertise and passion for research, education, and program coordination to contribute positively to your organisation's mission and goals.
