👩🏾‍💻 About Me 

As of January 2020, I'm a PhD student working on Machine Learning and some really cool tech that will make the future internet connection much better, especially when you have A LOT of smart devices..

Also, I'm really into cool new smart tech gadgets!! 

         What I'm working on 

1. 👩🏾‍🎓 As a PhD candidate, I'm working on cognitive radio networks using machine learning to provide better internet connectivity for the future IoT networks.
2. 🌐 I'm developing Scientific Reviews and Ratings for all the scientific research papers to be reviewed and rated by the community publicly with star ratings. My vision for doing this is to make scientific research easier, quicker, and more reliable for everybody.
3. 📚 I help students get to their dream universities for higher education through coaching and counselling. I also help them with reviewing their graduate school applications, highlighting their potential in their resume, and getting the scholarships they deserve.
4. 🎬 I have a Youtube Channel where I share my life as a female Pakistani engineer from a conservative family and my journey of overcoming family pressure and social obstacles for studying engineering abroad.
5. 📬 I read a lot of books, listen to a lot of podcasts, and watch a lot of cool tech reviews, so in my upcoming Monday Reflections emailing list, I will be share a line or two about something fascinating that I found during the previous week, or something that is going to change my life. Let me know what you think of the idea.

         Things I care about 

1. 💁‍♀️ Women empowerment: It took two and a half centuries to end slavery, why is women empowerment taking even longer? Women in my country are forced into marriages against their choice, forced to choose carrier paths based on the "norms" of society, denied inheritance, sometimes even denied basic education. Harassment of women on the streets, in workplaces, at homes, and in public places is extremely common. Women in my country deserve better. Women everywhere around the world deserve better.
2. 📖 The right to education for every child: and it should be theirs regardless of country of birth, income of the parents, gender, race, and societal norms. I co-founded a volunteers aided school where we brought together out-of-schools children, children whose parents were homeless, and too poor to feed them, and had to send their children into child labour. 
3. 🏃🏾‍♀️ Physical fitness: I started taking care of my mind and body through mindfulness, workouts, eating healthy, and having a consistent sleep schedule. I share my journey, tips and tricks to stay on track, and things that keep me motivated on my Instagram stories sometimes so feel free to join the journey to being better.

3. 🗓 Coaching Appointment: Head over to Book an appointment if you have questions about graduate study and need help.
4. 📩  Email: If none of the above work for you, send me an email at academiccoaching.ml@gmail.com with subject [None other works]. I read all the emails, but there is only enough time to reply to 10%. If you use any of the other way I mentioned before, the chances of you getting a reply are higher.
