About
I am from Pakistan and currently I am an international student at Ohio University and studying under US-Pakistan knowledge corridor in the field of Organizational Communication. I have got my initial education from my hometown, Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir. Then, I got my bachelor's degree from University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan as Doctor of Veterinary Medicines. After that I started working for a government organization and completed my master's during my job. I always wanted to do my best for the organization where I was working but I felt the need of better communication skills and techniques to be a better manager, so, right now I am studying Organizational communication and hopefully I will be able to replicate the experience of USA in my home country.
