SUMMARYI have a Master of Arts in Religious Studies from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and am seeking an opportunity to continue teaching the Urdu language at the college level. I enjoy interacting with people of all ages and my aspiration, as I pursue a teaching role, is to impart the meanings and depth of my native language to those who are interested in learning it.
