I am a community-engaged educator who believes in creating sustainable partnerships within and outside the academy that meet community needs, honor lived experience, and support students in asking: Who am I, what do I stand for, and how do I contribute to the well-being of the many communities that I intersect with? I also believe that religious communities are a powerful resource in co-creating a just, ethical and vibrant civic space. I direct the Program in Islamic Studies at Johns Hopkins University and lead a grant on community-engaged pedagogy in Islamic Studies.

I pretty much been an artist my whole life. I always love the idea of mixing colors when I was younger just to see how it would turn out. When I had to pick classes in High School every year, I would take an art class even though I didn’t need it. I’ve also always been into photography. I won a People Choice Award and have some of my photography in the 2018 Patterson Park Calendar. I also hand painted a Cicada for the 2021 Parade-a that’s currently hanging on Falls Rd. During the Pandemic I decided to try a different form of art which was working with Epoxy Resin.
