About
I am passionate about the intersection of school social work, career counseling, and educational development. My main interest lies in creating evidence-based models to address the mental health, career guidance, and social needs of students, particularly in underrepresented regions like Pakistan. My research focuses on integrating innovative practices in school counseling, career development, and social work to promote emotional well-being and academic success. I value both the academic rigor of research and the practical application of my findings, believing that these two facets strengthen each other in fostering systemic change.
