"After completing my project at CERN, I worked in a bank in Istanbul as a network security specialist for a year. I am now enrolled in MSc. Cybersecurity program at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. I will begin my studies in August. 

Pakistani Women in Computing Karachi Chapter invited me to be a guest speaker at CERN Summer Student Programme Guidance Session with Ahmed Hassan, my project mate at CERN. Here is the link if you would like to watch and subscribe to my channel: https://youtu.be/X2AyfCs2mcw

My experiences at CERN definitely broaden my horizons. I met incredible people and witnessed great projects and milestones. Our project at Webfest'21 was shortlisted among other 20+ more projects so this was exciting news for all of us. I and my team at webfest'21 really worked hard and enjoyed working together and we are all still in touch. 10/10 recommend everyone to be a part of the CERN Team. Here is the picture of the CERN Summer Students of 2021 from a presentation."
