♡ Welcome to My Portfolio ♡

Hi, I’m Samar—I’m passionate about creating people-centered experiences that blend storytelling, technology, and community impact.

My background includes work in community engagement, event planning, digital content creation, and web development. I’ve helped organize hackathons, supported civic outreach through campus roles, and worked with nonprofits to build accessible tools and messaging.

Whether I’m coordinating logistics, consulting on communication strategy, or designing a website, I’m focused on work that connects and empowers people.

About

Who I am

I’m interested in how people communicate across cultures and contexts — and how media, platforms, and power shape those conversations.

I’m currently in University pursuing a bachelors in Communication Studies with a minor in Computer Science. I care deeply about meaningful communication, collaborative problem-solving, and building systems that make space for everyone’s voice. My studies help me bridge the gap between people and technology, and I’m always looking for ways to make ideas more accessible, inclusive, and impactful.
