I am a Muslim Bangladeshi-American Event-Thrower! At least, those are my top identifiers (for now). I am currently working for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope based out right here in Baltimore, MD. I am an amateur photographer, a master food-repurposing chef, and story-teller. I am currently on the Membership Committee of the Baltimore NAAAP chapter and am excited to meet new people in this wonderful city of ours. Reach out with your top three identifiers!
