Meet The Treasurers

🌟 Hafsah Siddiqui – Team Lead

Hafsah is the wise owl of the group. Behind the scenes she is a Canva wizard, bringing creativity and organisation to everything she touches. Many believe she is actually a 90-year-old grandmother trapped in a thirteen-year-old body due to her maturity, wisdom and ability to keep everyone on track!

☕ Zainab – Marketing Officer

Known for her infectious giggles and quick wit, Zainab keeps the team smiling. Give her a coffee and she transforms into a one-person energy machine, bouncing from idea to idea faster than anyone can keep up!

🍕 Ateeqa Hassan – Secretary

Ateeqa's favourite hobbies include eating good food and spending time with the SYE crew. She is also delighted to have discovered her long-lost twin, Firdowsa, and together they are often impossible to separate.

👑 Firdowsa Zahoor – Community Engagement Officer

Firdowsa lights up every room she enters. Confident, kind and full of positive energy, she carries herself like royalty. Many people still struggle to tell her and Ateeqa apart!

🍟 Hiba – Treasurer

Hiba loves food with her whole heart. If you're sitting next to her, keep a close eye on your snacks because they may mysteriously disappear! She also proudly claims to have the best sister in the world.

🎉 Noor – Marketing Officer

Noor is what we like to call a halal party animal. If you've ever been on a residential trip with her, you'll know she can keep everyone awake with endless coffee, laughter and lots of love. She brings energy wherever she goes.

We can't wait to welcome you to an afternoon of creativity, culture, cupcakes and connection!
