First Generation Immigrant

Rahma’s passion for promoting diversity, gender balance, and empowering young minds with education stems from being a first-generation immigrant herself whose parents moved from Pakistan to Canada in hopes of a better future.

She wants to be the role model for others that she never had and use her position to promote a more inclusive world.
