Competitively selected as an Archer Fellow for the Summer 2017 Graduate Public Policy Program in Washington D.C. Within the program, I worked as an intern for One DC - a nonprofit working on organizing neighborhood equity in underprivileged communities negatively affected by gentrification. I also took a course in Federal policymaking and the art of advocacy in policy. 
Lastly, I compiled an independent study paper aimed at better understanding the work my internship organization conducted and the impact on housing policy in the DC area.

Design for a Cause
A capstone research project for an Islamic center of Qur’anic studies for expatriate children within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The aim of the center is to attract young children to understand and appreciate the importance of Islam in their lives by learning and applying the basic teachings of the religion. It will help install the beauty of this religion and its aspects into the young hearts of these children. A thorough study has been done of existing information extracted by different websites, books and journals to draw significant conclusions about creating an attractive, healthy and interactive learning environment for these children. The research aims to study ways of creating spiritually enlightening spaces for young children combined with modernizing Islamic design methods to cater to today’s contemporary styles.
