  Apart from academic distinction in my Master’s degree of International Relations, I am curently working as a research associate at the Institute of Strategic Studies Research & Analysis, that is a premier Pakistani Defence Think Tank pursuing various indigenous and International research collaboration projects in the field of International Relations. Having involved in research activities being pursued in National Defence University along with the Faculty members and research groups I was able to co-author a research article that has been published recently in an HEC recognized Journal with special focus on terrorism in South Asia. The details of the research article are included in my Resume. To better relate to the concepts of society and social science as a practical field, I also have an ongoing touch of practical experience in social development sector at Search for Common Ground ( SFCG ), a Washington based international non- profit peace building organization as a program development volunteer. I have come across various training and sessions that involve the participation and engagement with youth and women to understand and educate them about conflict resolution and have a common ground approach in their daily lives to promote sustainable peace and coexistence.
