First, I am learning my sixth language! In order of fluency, I know English, Urdu, Hindi, Spanish, and Malayalam, and Arabic. I just really love learning and languages are particularly fascinating to me. It goes back to my desire to open communication channels with everyone around me and wanting to understand things. I’m not very good in Arabic just yet but I’m getting there!
Second, I make most of my own dresses. I’m an avid fan of sewing and I love finding some good fabric and sowing a dress for myself. I also make dresses for my daughter. There’s a lot of inspiration available online now and I love to find new projects that way. And my friends often tell me if they’ve found some nice fabric that they think I’ll like.
Third, I am currently working on a nonprofit that will make resume services more accessible to students in the global south. I’m calling it Careertuners.ai and the goal is to combine our services with AI and share that with these students. I want to empower them and help them get good jobs, through which they can elevate their standard of living.
Four, I can do all of the above because of the support of my wonderful and caring husband, who is an amazing father and partner 🙂
And five, I moved every single year from age 6 to 14. Sometimes across the ocean! I’ve moved around after that as well but at a less frequent rate. It’s helped me understand the importance of empathy, good communications, and being a good listener. I think that’s where my desire to communicate and understand people came from. I wanted to connect with the new people I was meeting and build friendships.

Read an Excerpt
The process of advocating for yourself is not inherently aggressive. It simply creates an equal playing field and a two-way communication channel where you and the company achieve a mutually beneficial agreement. Ultimately, there are more reasons to try to negotiate your salary than not. I want you to have the tools necessary to negotiate for the maximum raise you can possibly get in any negotiation.
Let me show you what I mean. I helped one of my clients, let’s call him John, negotiate a $6,000 addition to his annual salary. This $6,000 raise, with a 3% additional annual raise per year, had the potential to translate into almost $400,000 more over the course of a standard 35-year career! And that was a modest 3% raise. Imagine how much you can benefit by learning how to advocate for yourself more directly!
