Meet Awais 🇵🇰🇪🇸

Hi everyone! My name is Awais Hayat Malik. I am from Pakistan and I am an international freshman at SRJC. I’ve lived my teenage life in Spain. I pursued professional soccer there and now I have other ambitions in life. I want to involve myself into the business side which is why my major is Business. I aspire to make my own brand of clothing. I know SRJC can provide a lot of experience for me to grow from in order to take on this next chapter in my life.
