I am an American-born Pakistani from the suburbs of Chicago, passionate about a whole new world. I grew up on a path to checking all the stereotypical boxes that I possibly could in the least amount of time possible. The more boxes I checked though, the less happy I became. After ending my job as a Wall Street Consultant, I spent the next few years trying to become a social entrepreneur. I went on to become a volunteer on eco-lodges and permaculture farms in Central America and, eventually, worked my way around the world helping to build sustainable and regenerative projects in Australia, Philippines, Chicago and Peru. I focused on the intersection of business, nature, and community. The culmination of my experiences and research is now evident in the Círculo Initiative, a family of eco-focused, for-purpose businesses in Nicaragua that are built on a mission to give more than they take – a model of conducting business and life in a way that our world desperately needs, one that is more regenerative. I have the pleasure of working with an inspired team of travelers, foreigners and locals alike. You will be in direct communication with this beautiful team of collaborators.
