As a life-long 4-H’er, an advocate for pediatric cancer research, and promoter of civic engagement, Noor is always looking to the future to pay it forward and champion youth, women, and minorities. She is inspired by personal narratives and nothing brings her more joy than seeing people turn their passion into action in order to create positive change. Noor’s interest in public management and international policy has led her to pursue a career within the operations, development, and nonprofit sector after graduation before receiving an MBA. Outside of the classroom, she loves to travel, eat countless scoops of black raspberry chip ice cream, watch TED Talks, and visit local coffee shops around Columbus.
