More About Shabana

Outside of work I like to…
run, walk Charlotte, and go for long hikes. I have an interest in skateboarding that began in my senior year of high school where I was the only “fem” boarder in my group. I hung up my skateboard after breaking my wrist in a boarding accident in college and hope to one day return to the sport.

Something you may not know about me…
I am a first-generation Afghan. My parents immigrated here in the 1980s during the Soviet war when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. My family is a part of the larger Bay Area Afghan community. I hope to visit Afghanistan when it is safe to return to the country.
