Community Service: As a volunteer at the local mosque and a member of the youth group, I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of individuals from various cultural and religious backgrounds. Through my involvement in Zainab Organization of Greater Seattle, I have learned the importance of diversity and its positive impact on the community.
At the mosque, I have worked with individuals from various countries, including Iraq, Iran, India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. I have helped organize many events and activities for the community. I have seen firsthand the value of diverse people coming together to share their culture and traditions. I have also learned about the different challenges and experiences that individuals from different backgrounds face and how important it is to be understanding and supportive of one another. Through these experiences, I have also learned the importance of inclusivity and how diversity can enrich the lives of those around us.

These goals involve building knowledge in UX design, improving technical proficiency, gaining practical experience, prioritizing empathy and user needs, staying informed about industry trends, enhancing collaboration and communication skills, and creating impactful user experiences.
