Biography:

Hello! I come from a small village in the southern part of Bangladesh. I earned my Master of Public Administration and Bachelor of Social Science in Public Administration from Jahangirnagar University in Bangladesh. Since 2019, I have been serving as an Assistant Director at the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA), a nodal agency for the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency in Bangladesh, aiming to build an energy-conscious nation by promoting sustainable energy and reducing carbon emissions. In addition, I have been actively involved with Youth Career School as an instructor since 2021. While working at SREDA, I came to realize that the nexus between energy and the environment is crucial for sustainable development and mitigating the impacts of climate change. I am confident that pursuing the Master of Arts in Environmental and Social Change program at the University of Winnipeg will provide me with a comprehensive understanding of human-environmental interaction. Furthermore, the Environment and Society Collaborative Lab offers a unique opportunity for me to work, learn, and grow alongside individuals with diverse research interests.
