§ About
I wanted to be a
journalist first.
From an early age I have aspired to build a career in journalism. In 2022 I enrolled in the Department of Media Studies and Journalism at the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh to pursue that ambition, and I major in Communication for Development.
Self-reflection
Throughout my academic journey I have developed a deeper understanding of journalism, mass communication and the development sector while continuously improving my knowledge and skills. My studies have also strengthened my awareness of social issues and the importance of addressing inequality and injustice for the betterment of society. That perspective is why so many of my academic projects and assignments start from a real-world social challenge rather than a brief.
“Studying at ULAB has transformed the way I think, enabling me to analyze issues more critically and recognize multiple perspectives beyond what is immediately visible.”
Embracing ULAB's liberal education philosophy has contributed significantly to my personal growth, critical thinking and professional development. This portfolio brings together the knowledge, skills and experiences I gained since 2022, across the department's common courses and the Communication for Development track.
