Commissioner for 5E04
About Me
I'm Huma Imtiaz (she/hers), Commissioner for ANC 5E04. I’m originally from Pakistan and have lived in D.C. since 2011, and in Bloomingdale for a decade now.
In my spare time, I'm out walking the dog, on a run, riding my bike (slowly) to get around town, or tending to my veggies in the neighboring LeDroit Park Community Garden (which I helped run for a few years before being elected as an ANC commissioner).
In my day job, I work as a communications professional. Prior to working in communications, I worked as a journalist in the U.S. and Pakistan.
