Fatima Abuhaliqa, WCM Peer Consultant

Fatima Abuhaliqa is currently studying Electrical Engineering at TAMUQ. Although she studies engineering she believes that writing is an important part of engineering and communicating with people. As a climate-conscious person and the delegate for precop26 representing Qatar at the United Nations, she understands that to be able to spread awareness for climate change and climate activism, writing is a wonderful tool to be able to do so. Writing to Fatima is also about creating a world through words that can be composed through literary or poetic devices. She believes that writing is a shelter and not an escape. This is why Fatima believes that helping students such as herself is important since anyone - even the greatest writers - need help with their work.
