Tehreem\u2019s diverse experiences as a \u201cthird-culture kid\u201d from Pakistan, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia have allowed her to deeply reflect on the challenges and successes in education. Pursuing an undergraduate career at Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar further enriched her understanding by providing her with courses, projects, clubs and research pertaining to the politics of education.<\/p>\n
Through clubs, such as the Hoya English Language Program, Amal, and Akhuwat-e-Awam, Tehreem learned the power of education; regardless of age, country of origin, social class, or mental and physical capability, people around the world strive towards bettering their position and role in society through various educational channels.
