Mahin Ahsan
Marketing Director
Mahin Ahsan is a director of The Syed Pillar Foundation, and she is in charge of all the marketing efforts in the organization.
While this is her first major contribution to a non-profit, she has plenty of experience helping out others and giving back to her community. She has worked on promoting various nonprofits on social media and is a frequent donator to causes she supports.
In 2017, Mahin entered a competition that would grant her the opportunity to work an international organization and pioneer one new effort in a country she selected. She entered the competition with a goal of bringing resources to girls in India who are interested in STEM. Her vision involved collaborating with a local school to develop comprehensive science materials tailored to students' needs. Although she did not win the competition, she learned about how different countries prioritize education - experience she hopes to bring to Syed Pillar. In the time she has been with Syed Pillar, she has also learned about what it takes to start an organization working on making large-scale impacts.
Outside of the non-profit organization, Mahin works as a technology consultant for Credera in Houston, TX. She studied at the University of Houston in MIS and Supply Chain Management. Besides her career, Mahin loves to stay busy and stay creative.
“Outside of the non-profit, I love making art, whether its painting or learning about art history. I also spend a lot of time learning about health and how to take care of myself when I have a lot on my plate.“
She finds inspiration and motivation from her family, as they are encouraging of her passions and all the different things she is interested in
Mahin's advice to anyone who wants to join or support the non-profit?
“I would say the best way to get involved is to do research and be ambitious. The only way to know the outcome is to put in the effort, and even a small contribution can have a significant impact.”
