Shazia Rahman
​PTO Member
Shahzia Rahman is homeschooling mom
of two. While she’s done a few different jobs in her life, the most rewarding ones for her have been those where she was able to be of benefit to the community. This involves starting a play-based co-op for little ones at the masjid when her kids were younger, teaching childbirth classes and organizing community events. She hopes she can continue on that path by being on the AWI team because AWI has been the magical part of her homeschooling journey. A few of her passions can be found @therustikhome @quadmshops and @hypnobabieswithshaz
