Hooria moved to Oklahoma in 2005 from Pakistan with her husband after completing her bachelors in sciences. They moved to Nashville for a year and a half for her husband’s medical fellowship training before finally choosing Oklahoma City as their home. Since completing her Masters in Counseling Psychology from University of Central Oklahoma in 2015 she has been practicing therapy along with managing their family’s real estate business. Hooria has passionately pursued her aim of supporting mental health needs of Muslim and South Asian community in OKC as a part time therapist which led her to be the founding member and Executive Director of Muslim women led non profit in OKC as well as Community Mental Health Advocate for Afghan women & children through Spero Project.
