Saba is in her gap year after graduating with a degree in Biotechnology from Christ University, using this time to explore diverse work experiences before deciding on her next professional path. While her academic background provided a strong foundation in research and analytical thinking, Saba has found herself drawn to the creative industry, particularly through working with content.

This exposure sparked her interest in the ways storytelling, media, and design can engage and inspire audiences, leading her to explore opportunities in project management. She is eager to combine her curiosity, organisational skills, and creative insights to take on projects that are dynamic, collaborative, and impactful.

Through this period of exploration, Saba is building a versatile skill set, gaining practical experience, and discovering where her passions align with her strengths. Her goal is to approach her next career move with clarity, confidence, and a broad perspective shaped by hands-on learning.
