Hello,
My name is Newzaira Khan
My passion for serving humanity was sparked as young as I could remember. As a Bangladeshi-American there were a multitude of cultural and religious factors that led to guiding my craft. When I went to college I decided Psychology and Chemical Dependency were the main foundations to guide my service. However, as time went on I decided that living in Rural America may not have taught me all the skills needed to work with ALL Americans. Therefore, I decided to go to an HBCU in Norfolk, VA to obtain my Master's in Social Work. During my time in graduate studies I realized that the thought's within Social Work did not incorporate the complexities of the world and the relationship that it may have on our communities. All of this guided me to work on obtaining my PhD in International Studies with graduate certificates in Women's Studies and International Development. All of this combined, has created the perfect storm to work hand in hand will a diverse-range of communities and organizations to empower what is best for each individual.
