Born and raised in Dhaka, Bangladesh, I moved to Oahu, Hawaii in 2016 for pursuing my undergraduate studies in Media Communications & Business (Management Information Systems) from the University Hawai’i at Manoa. I am currently working as the Associate Photo Editor at my College newspaper Ka Leo O Hawaii, where I have first experienced the taste of newsroom work environment. Since then I felt a connection with photojournalism. Previously, I have also interned at Honolulu's non-profit news portal Honolulu Civil Beat where I worked alongside veteran journalists. My work has won 2016-17, 2018-19 UHM Student Media Board Excellence Award, 2018-19 Pinnacle Awards 2nd Place Best Breaking News Photo by College Media Association (CMA) and honorable mention and Finalist at General News Photo of the year by Associated College Press (ACP).
