About the Millennium Fellow
Momal Nadeem here! Born in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, I completed my primary, secondary and higher secondary education from Dominican Convent Higher Secondary School, Bahawalpur! For bachelors degree I moved to my dream institute in Pakistan, King Edward Medical University, Lahore. I am currently a med student hoping to pursue surgery in future. Moreover philanthropic activities drive my attention bit too much for which I along with my Fellows sought Millennium Fellowship. We are looking forward to an impact- surging session this year.
