I am deeply honored to be nominated and appointed as the Secretary General of the World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO). As an Afghan immigrant who was given the gift of education and opportunity, I carry this role with profound gratitude and responsibility. Afghan girls and women have the right to education—it is a fundamental human right. I take this role to serve as a beacon of hope and an example of what is possible when that right is honored. #LetHerLearn My passion for the global GI community is unwavering. I aim to: • Strengthen global collaborations • Expand education and mentorship programs • Build sustainable partnerships to advance gastroenterology and empower the next generation of leaders To serve as a global leader is a privilege I do not take lightly. Together, we can advance care, knowledge, and equity in digestive health around the world.

*Memo* After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to resign from my role as President & Board Director of @IBDHorizons. As a Co-Founder, I remain proud of what we’ve built over the years. Unfortunately, the organization’s current direction no longer aligns with my values or vision.
