She constantly found herself struggling within an educational system that is unable to meet the needs of students with different abilities. Her educational and work experience at national and international level has not only led her to encounter discrepancies within the structure but it has also allowed her to identify and address these problems through the teaching and research experience.
Her dream to bring change in educational structure of her country is not limited to formal education, therefore with online mode, she taught children from poor socioeconomic backgrounds at elementary and middle levels in Pakistan. Especially during COVID-19 pandemic, she delivered online workshops for prospective teachers as well as for school leaderships in remote areas of the country under the agenda of quality education (SDGs-sustainability development goals) and published a research article in (2021) and raised a sensitive issue related to challenges faced by private school teachers and students in remote areas of Pakistan during COVID-19. Becoming a High School teacher in Australia provided her an opportunity to understand more closely the education system of Australia.
