Aminah Fahd is currently working as the Public Relations Officer (PRO) at Gandhara University, Peshawar, Pakistan. She was born in Dera Ismail Khan, in southern KPK, Pakistan and hails from the small, conservative Pasthun village of Lakki Marwat. Owing to young marriage and her role as primary caregiver to three children, her education and professional development has seen many pauses.
