Hello, I'm Iqbal
After years of working in local community empowerment and as an educator in communication and media literacy. I now aspire to contribute more directly to higher education and academic research. I envision nurturing scholars who are also storytellers. Those who engage meaningfully with society and view communication as a crucial pathway for cross-sector collaboration.
