Having graduated from LUMS with a degree in Political Science, Alina has embarked on her professional journey by delving into research with a focus on teaching, training, education, and public policy.

While her background is theory and policy focused, she has spent a considerable amount of time working on a RISE-funded project (Research for Improving Systems in Education) at LUMS, alongside teaching. Further inspired by her four years spent as a volunteer Medical First Responder as well as a first responder trainer, Alina aims to pivot into a more practical and training focused role at CERP.

On the weekends Alina spends her leisure time painting, a passion that helps her relax and stay grounded.
