I am 21 and from Karachi, Pakistan. I started playing Scrabble at the age of 8 but didn’t enter the mainstream Scrabble until 14, it was after my win at the Inter-School Championship that motivated me to compete with the adults and I somehow managed to beat the then national champion, Waseem Khatri, in my very first game. Now I am ranked #1 in the country and have travelled to the UK, UAE, Australia, France, Malaysia, Thailand and Sri Lanka, for playing numerous tournaments including the World Championships. My notable achievements include winning the World Junior Championship 2018, Pakistan Championship 2018, and World Youth Championship 2013.
