I am a distinguished emerging scholar in linguistics and literature, currently pursuing a PhD in Linguistics at Kohat University of Science & Technology, following my MPhil in English (2025) from Qurtuba University and my BS in English (2022) from the University of Science & Technology, Bannu, where my theses rigorously applied foregrounding to Shadab Zeest Hashmi’s acclaimed poetry. Since 2022, I have served as a full-time Lecturer in the Department of English & Applied Linguistics at UST Bannu, delivering advanced instruction in Stylistics, Critical Discourse Analysis, Semantics and Pragmatics, and Literary Criticism, while supervising 28 undergraduate theses to successful completion. My scholarly excellence is affirmed by 11 peer-reviewed publications in reputable journals, addressing dialectal variations, stylistic deviation, and systemic functional linguistics. With professional experience as a United Nations transcriber-translator, extensive freelancing in research and creative writing, and certifications from The Open University and University of London, complemented by native proficiency in Pashto and fluency in English and Urdu, I exemplify a highly qualified, versatile, and committed academic professional poised for significant contributions to research, pedagogy, and institutional advancement.
