Momina is a double major in Biomedical Engineering and Applied Mathematics & Statistics. She takes her major very seriously and credits Biomedical Engineering for the creation of instruments for the medical field. When asked why she didn't follow her mother's footsteps and became a doctor, she replies saying that Biomedical engineering field is an important field due to which she was able to create a solar panel powered vaccine transport cooler. The main intention for this creation is to aid the transport of polio vaccines since Pakistan is one of the few countries where the disease hasn't been eradicated yet.
