Prior to law school, Husnah earned a BA in English language and literature from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where she served students as a resident advisor, a peer mentor, and a student organization co-founder. She also studied medieval literature at Oxford University to complete her degree requirements.
After her father was picked up by immigration officials and deported to England, Husnah worked as a barista and sous chef to support her family. She later worked as an IT assistant and medical office manager. Husnah’s interest in wrongful conviction cases and her family’s exposure to the criminal legal system inspired her to attend Wayne State University Law School.
At Wayne Law, Husnah revitalized the Muslim Law Students Association as President, served as an Articles Editor for the Journal of Law in Society, and was Lieutenant Governor of Public Interest for the American Bar Association’s 6th Circuit. She interned with the Michigan Innocence Clinic, where her work helped enable a new trial that led to a seemingly impossible exoneration. She later interned with the U.S. Army JAG Corps and Chapman Law Group. In response to her success at the Clinic, she received the Recognizing Public Servants Scholarship by the David Benowitz Law Firm, awarded to one student nationwide. She also received the AmeriCorps Equal Justice Works Fellowship.
Before attending business school, Husnah acted as Founder and Director of S.E.E.M.A., a nonprofit expanding educational access for low‑income seniors. While studying at the University of Rochester, she interned with Microsoft Corporation as a Human Resources Business Partner intern, turning down a finance internship offer with Pepsi Corporation to do so. She also serves on the board of Youth Advocate Programs, Inc.
Husnah’s approach to law school admissions consulting is rooted in a lifelong love of learning that has fueled multiple degrees and active engagement across communities. She believes education is the great equalizer and uses coaching to open doors to opportunity, encouraging students to grow into professionals who uplift others. From early planning to application execution, she offers a perspective that broadens how students present their stories and goals.
Husnah’s greatest strengths as a counselor involve her approachability. From guiding students on their personal statements to editing essays and allowing them to share memorable extracurricular activities, she has presented students with an enhanced and expansive perspective. Although Husnah’s achievements are varied, her greatest achievement is being known as a kind person.
When she’s not coaching, Husnah raises funds for animal sanctuaries and shelters, performs poetry and music at open‑mic nights, travels, and watches movies. You can usually find her in bookstores or libraries with tea or coffee in hand. A true‑crime fan, she listens to podcasts like Crime Junkie and Going West on her daily walks. While she was born on Valentine’s Day, her favorite holiday is Halloween.
