Based out of Islamabad, she traveled around villages of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where she evaluated an education policy program to enroll out-of-school children in schools through conditional cash transfers. &ldquo;My experience working as a fellow for NRSP in Pakistan was the most important transformational moment in my life, particularly because I discovered I want to work in the field abroad,&rdquo; says Azhar. &ldquo;It provided a foundation for my career, along with the education I received at UW Bothell.&rdquo; <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/field.jpg\" alt=\"Aatqa Azhar interviewing participants\" class=\"wp-image-23837\"><\/figure>\n\n<p>Azhar was recently hired as a Claims Assistant by the U.S. Department of State&#039;s Veteran Affairs.
