Zara Liaqat, from Pakistan, is now a 3rd year Ph.D. student in Economics at University of Southern California.

She is the former "Miss Liberty" of Beaconhouse School, and the only Pakistani to ever get a World Distinction in Economics (a trophy for the top scorer in Cambridge International Examination held by the British Council). Zara Liaqat is a household name in Pakistan.

Unlike most women in the mysterious kingdom of Pakistan, Zara is a pioneer. She is a religious Muslim, praying every day and fasting in Ramadan. She is also independent and liberal, leaving behind the old-fashioned attire and embracing a more modern lifestyle.
