Noor's legal journey began with an interest in educating people as to their rights while she was studying English literature in my home country, Pakistan. Being raised in a very lively and densely populated city like Lahore gave her the insight to analyze the societal atrocities and indifferences that she used to study in my literature classes. At this point, she decided to go to law school in hopes to attempt to bridge the gap between societal power imbalance.

She went to the University of London (UK) to pursue her passion to help restore social justice in her home country. In 2017, Noor's family decided to move to Canada and she got tagged along.
