I am a sociologist interested in ethics, sustainability, and wellbeing. Through my research, writing, and teaching, I help individuals to lead more ethical and sustainable lives, which is so important in this modern context.

​

I completed my PhD in Sociology at the University of Southampton, UK, where I explored the ethics, values, and practices of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian vegans in the UK. In particular, I was interested in how ethical principles are interrogated and reinterpreted, ultimately leading to new reimaginations of religion and culture, and practice transformation. I also teach modules on sociology, anthropology, and research methods, and have held a variety of responsibilities within the University.

​

I am also Co-Founder of Green Islam, a visionary new organisation that strives to highlight the incompatibility between modern consumption and lifestyle practices with Islamic teachings, in turn seeking to inspire Muslims to re-engage and act in accordance with the ethical spirit of Islam.

​

I am also a trustee for Qatrah, a charity which supports vulnerable women and children in Afghanistan, who are suffering as a result of the current geopolitical situation in the country.

​

In my personal life, I am happily married with two beautiful children. I enjoy spending time with my family, going for long walks, and reading.
