Founder & Strategic Director, Modular Ummah
I lead the vision and framework design for values-driven community infrastructure. Through Silsilah Connect, I coordinate a network of expert contributors to ensure strategic alignment, ethical clarity, and meaningful impact.
My experience spans community grassroots work, volunteerism, leadership roles in institutions, and Islamic counselling settings. I am passionate about supporting people and organisations to serve purposefully without burnout.

I focus on building trust, listening deeply, and shaping our work around the people it’s meant to serve. My experience includes mental health, grassroots organising, women’s leadership, volunteerism, and therapeutic counselling.
I ensure our frameworks remain connected to lived experiences so that no one is left behind and every voice is valued.
