Hi Everyone,

My name is Zoya also known as Zoya the Explorer :) I am a proud Muslim, Pakistani, American, Explorer Woman who is first generation in America.  I have worked to create a unique career background working at different intersections of diverse communities, business, tech, retail, corporate, government, impact, public affairs and non-profits.  I am also an explorer and I have traveled extensively around the world. I am driven by fearlessly losing myself in the service of others to make this world a better, more safe place where everyone is free and empowered to live up to their highest potential and purpose.

Currently, I am a Director of Public Affairs and I build bridges and partner with diverse community non-profit stakeholders to strengthen our trust and how we support diverse communities. I have a special expertise in relating to and understanding how to work inclusively with diverse leaders. A careful eye on nonpartisan partnerships, encouraging environments of diversity equity and inclusion, where all views are respected, heard and appreciated.

Here to share and learn some skills, wisdom and knowledge I've been picking up along the way.

Connect with me on Linkedin - Zoya Rukh Awan and follow me on instagram @zoya_theexplorer! I look forward to being a part of your leadership journey!
