Summary
I hold a PhD in English Linguistics and currently serve as a Lecturer in English at the School of Social Sciences and Humanities (S3H), NUST, Pakistan. I bring over ten years of teaching experience at prestigious institutions, including NUST, NDU, IIUI, and NEI, Islamabad. As a multidisciplinary researcher, my work spans visual linguistics, multimodality, discourse analysis, management sciences, economics, peace and conflict studies, and resistance studies. I am an active curriculum developer, having designed the certificate for the IELTS course offered by NAVTTC and led the development of the BS English curriculum 2025 based on HEC’s revised guidelines. I also served as Head of the Board of Studies (BoS) and secured approval for the BS English curriculum, which is currently being implemented at NEI. Additionally, I participated in US Embassy projects and received professional training from American educators. The insights and pedagogical techniques I gained from this experience have helped me make my classrooms interactive, engaging, and student-centred. I strongly believe in activity-based teaching that fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and holistic learning.
