Background

About Huda Navaid

Thank you for stopping by my LinkedIn page! My name is Huda Navaid. I received my B.Sc. in Political Science from Santa Clara University and I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies at NYU. I graduated, magna cum laude with honors, from college in 2019 and am on track to receive my masters degree in the year 2023. I am a first generation South Asian American Muslim and was born in Islamabad, Pakistan. I am Pakistani, Indian, and Kashmiri. I grew up living all over the United States, however, and have lived in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Iowa, Tennessee, and California. Having lived in so many different places proved to be an incredibly insightful experience for me. It has led me to be passionate both about understanding the struggles of others and serving the greater community. I am immensely passionate about storytelling, filmmaking, and creating content that inspires others. I care deeply about creating work that shares a diversity of perspectives, bridges barriers, and gets people to think critically about social norms/structures in the world. I am also interested in holistic education and expanding health and mental healthcare access for underserved populations. I am pursuing these interests through my work in teaching young people and my creative work in writing, digital content creation, and music composition.In my spare time I like to create art, spend time out in nature, explore new restaurants and cuisines with with friends, and drink strong cups of chai with my family.
