Originally from Lahore, Pakistan, Arfa moved to Canada at the age of nine. She spent a year in Toronto before moving to Halifax. In the East Coast, not sure how (must be a Canadian thing!), but she began to watch and love hockey. Now she typically covers men's hockey for the Gazette. Arfa has been with the Gazette since her last year of high school as part of a cooperative education internship. Once she graduated, she came to Dal to study Political Science and is currently in her second year. Aside from continuing to write for the paper, Arfa completed an internship with Global Maritimes.
