Hi there! My name is Humaira and I'm an incoming second year graduate student at George Washington University! I'll be graduating in 2017 with a Masters in Health Administration (hopefully :p)!

Although I did not choose to go down the fine arts career path, I embrace the arts as an expression outlet …
