I am a 19-year-old Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Exeter, with a multicultural background having lived in Pakistan, Myanmar, and the UK. This has helped me develop a deep understanding of diverse perspectives and strong communication skills in both English and Urdu. I actively contribute to my academic and extracurricular life, including leadership roles such as House Captain and Student Council member, and have earned recognition in sports through multiple medals. My goal is to contribute to innovation in the automotive industry through collaborative engineering and technical excellence.
