3–6-Year-Old Assistant Guide

As the first girl born into a largely uneducated feudal family in Pakistan, I experienced the transformative power of education firsthand. My mother, an educated woman, made it her life's mission to ensure I received an education, a privilege not easily accessible in our community. Growing up in Pakistan during the late 70s, I began my educational journey in a Montessori setting, where I was deeply inspired by the joy, curiosity, and independence that my teachers nurtured. Their impact on my life has been profound, shaping my belief in the boundless potential of each child.

I trained as a Montessori teacher in Pakistan,  immersing myself in an approach that honors the uniqueness of every child and fosters a love of learning. Though my path led me into modeling and acting, I remained connected to my core passion for education. My work with the World Food Organization allowed me to engage with at-risk communities, raising awareness about food security and access to basic necessities for children. I used my platform to advocate for these critical issues, documenting my experiences and calling for positive change.

In 2020, I moved to Hudson, where I returned to my educational roots, focusing on creating impactful programs that serve both children and communities. The global pandemic prompted me to reevaluate my priorities, which led me back to what I truly love—education, community engagement, and fostering environments where children can grow, learn, and thrive. Now, as a Montessori educator, I am committed to nurturing the innate curiosity of every child, creating a safe and empowering space where they can develop into compassionate, self-directed learners. I believe in the power of education to change lives, and I am honored to walk alongside each child as they embark on their own unique journey of discovery.
