Summary
I hold a doctoral degree in Sociology with a specialization in Gerontology from Quaid-e-Azam University, awarded in October 2022. Over the past decade, I have been an adjunct faculty member at PMAS-Arid Agriculture University in Rawalpindi, where I have actively contributed to the Department of Anthropology and Sociology within the Faculty of Social Sciences. My roles at the university have included teaching, serving as a major thesis supervisor, and acting as an external thesis evaluator. Additionally, I have extended my academic contributions as an adjunct faculty member at Air University, USWA Institute of Higher Education, and COMSATS University in Islamabad. My career has also seen me working in the development sector, encompassing both national and international organizations, from 2006 to 2019. Within this sector, I have engaged in a wide array of Quantitative and Qualitative research projects, ranging from field research roles to the position of Project Data Coordinator at the national level. A significant part of my career has been devoted to data management, which includes tasks such as data coding, data cleaning, and data analysis using tools like SPSS. Furthermore, my dedication to research has led to my active involvement in publishing research findings in both national and international journals.
