What does Muppies mean to you?
In two words, Muppies, to me means mentorship, and investment. Investment in each other as a community, as professionals, as Muslims, and I’m so excited to help share all of the amazing stories of the Muppies family having each other’s backs through career pitfalls, transitions, and promotions.

What does Muppies mean to you?
Over the years, I’ve met a number of personal friends through Muppies and have also successfully connected with a number of business partners via the email list, ranging from simply being able to make an introduction in Korea for someone seeking help to connecting with another member to put a cross-border transaction together. I’m excited to be involved because I’d love to give back to the group in any way that I can and help Muppies grow as a platform that aids us all in achieving our goals.

What does Muppies mean to you?
It has been humbling to interact with many Muppies members, each trying to make meaningful impact across private, public, and nonprofit spaces. I am excited to be involved in marketing, and look forward to contributing efforts toward educational and professional development discussions for the global Muppies community.
